Moving and Handling Training (Level 2):Our course gives
employers and employees the understanding, training and skill of how to
comply with the MHOR (1992) regulation. The course detail describes the
legislation and what it involves. Sutents then study the anatomy of the
back so that delegates may better understand how the back works and have
to lift to prevent injury.
The course is presented through hands on
training, using practical learning and powerpoint and video.
At the end
of the course the students will be awarded a Manual Handling Training
certificate valid for 3 years.

technique Summary and questions
Why is manual handling
important?Poor lifting technique is the largest course of
workplace injury. Back injuries account for a large number of workplace
injuries and 80% will suffer from mild to severe back pain at some stage.
20% is caused by incorrect lifting and posture.
Due to the amount of
compensation being claimed by employees who sertained injuries whilst
working the Health and Safety Excutive put in to place the
Manual
Handling Operation Regulaton (1992). The
Regulations require employers to:
-
Avoid the need for hazardous manual handling, so far as is
reasonably practicable
Assess the risk of injury
from any hazardous manual handling that can't be avoided
Reduce
the risk of injury from hazardous manual handling, so far as is
reasonably practicable
