Manual Handling Course

At DG Truck Training, we pride ourselves on being able to provide you with a complete package regarding health and safety training.

Not only do we provide forklift truck training at very hard to beat prices, but we can also provide you and your staff with an intensive on site course regarding manual handling and safe lifting techniques.

With claims against accidents caused in the workplace at a record high, a strong emphasis must be put on general health and safety and measures to reduce any risk of injury.

Our intensive training courses are carried out on your own premises, and each course lasts around two hours. We like to train in groups of less than eight wherever possible, as larger groups tend to get distracted more easily.

Course Details:

• Principles of handling techniques.
• Principles of good movement.
• Practical applications of lifting, pushing, pulling and carrying.
• Practical guidance on workplace design.
• The requirements of the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 (as amended).
• Advice on ways of minimising injury and on what to do if injury should occur.
