Manual Handling

• 30 Minutes
• For all staff
• UK

This 30-minute course covers the controls the company has in place for manual handling and the measures staff should apply to reduce the risks of lifting, carrying and handling loads at work. It gives practical technique alongside an understanding of why the controls exist and when a task needs help.

Manual handling injuries remain one of the largest causes of lost working days in the UK, and they are almost entirely preventable. They are also cumulative, so the damage builds long before anyone reports it. Delivering this training gives your organisation a defensible position under the Manual Handling Operations Regulations and, more usefully, keeps experienced people at work.
