Manual Handling
Manual handling or to be accurate, incorrect manual handling, is one of the most common causes of injury at work. To try and combat manual handling problems, the Manual Handling Operations Regulations were introduced.
The Regulations lay out duties for both employees and employers. They give a general requirement that employees must be trained to manually handle correctly including the use of any equipment their employer provides to handle loads safely.
This course outlines exactly what constitutes manual handling and covers the regulations and legislation that apply to manual handling tasks. It then goes on to cover safe handling techniques and how to develop good habits in relation to manual handling. It finishes off by introducing some practical solutions and the use of mechanical aids.
Please note that this is an awareness course only, if your duties include manual handling you will also need further practical training, you can get in touch with us to arrange this.

"***** was very particularly grateful for the excellent training as she was at her niece’s baby shower yesterday (who is 36 weeks pregnant) and she was opening her gifts when all of a sudden she started spasming and had an epileptic fit.
She felt confident enough to assist the other ladies there, keeping her safe and protected and remembering to then lay her down in the recovery position on her left side and call the ambulance etc.
She doesn’t have epilepsy but has been since told that it can happen in pregnancy (it lasted about 3 mins). Such vital things that you taught us, already been put into practice."
Felt like I've really refreshed my knowledge
I would definitely recommend this course
