Course Details

Nearly all jobs involve some form of manual handling and the use of poor techniques to move material is the most common cause of injury at work.

In general, over a quarter experiencing injury at work will have sustained that injury when handling goods or materials.  In the majority of cases the cause of injury can be traced back to poor handling and lifting techniques.

 

Course Overview:

  • Injuries to the back, shoulders, neck, hand, arms and feet mostly result from moving heavy or awkward loads, restricted space, carrying loads up and down stairs and awkward movements such as reaching, stooping and twisting.
  • Delegates will learn how to efficiently lift materials, using the correct technique.
 
Who Should Attend?
  • All staff involved in some form of manual handling, e.g. staff members working in a warehouse or storage facility. This is also a good course for anyone who wants to learn proper techniques for lifting and handling material.
