Course description
In most jobs, in almost all sectors, there are elements of manual handling and with the moving of objects there is often questionable advice from well-meaning friends and colleagues. Injuries as a result of manual handling equate to over one-third of all workplace injuries. This course provides the knowledge and skills needed to avoid you becoming a part of that statistic.
This course offers a comprehensive guide to best practice when it comes to manual handling. This course is ideal as part of a staff induction, as refresher training for existing staff or for those looking to go on to achieve a recognised manual handling.
Suitability - Who should attend?
Ideal for employee inductions, refresher training or anyone who will be involved in manual handling as part of their job role.
The course can also be used as part of the on-programme element of the new apprenticeship standards, supporting the knowledge, skills and behaviours apprentices need to effectively integrate into the workplace.
