What does the course entail?
Our manual handling course is designed to provide participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to handle objects in the workplace safely. The course covers a range of topics, including the causes of manual handling injuries, risk assessment, and the proper techniques for lifting and carrying objects.
The course begins with an introduction to manual handling and its importance in the workplace. Participants will learn about the common causes of manual handling injuries, including repetitive strain injuries, back injuries, and musculoskeletal disorders. They will also learn about the legal requirements for manual handling in the workplace, including the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992.
The course then moves on to risk assessment, which is an essential part of manual handling safety. Participants will learn how to identify and assess manual handling risks in the workplace and how to develop control measures to minimise those risks. They will also learn about the importance of communication and teamwork in manual handling and how to work together to ensure safe handling practices.
The course covers the proper techniques for lifting and carrying objects. Participants will learn about good posture and body mechanics principles and how to apply those principles to manual handling tasks. They will also learn about different lifting and carrying techniques, including one-handed, two-handed, and team lifting.
Health and safety regulations are constantly changing, and employers may find that they are unable to find the time or expertise to manage requirements safely. We aim to make this process easier, more cost-effective, and more efficient. This will mean that workplaces are safe and meet best practices. This creates a deeper understanding of reducing risk, ultimately leading to a more secure environment.
