Manual Handling Training

The industries that require manual handling are vast. It covers a wide extent of activities that include: lifting, holding, carrying, pushing, pulling, limiting and tossing. It incorporates repetitive tasks such as packing, typing, assembling, cleaning and sorting, utilising hand-tools, operating machinery and equipment, and handling. Although many of the works do not pose any risk, there are some works which may prove to be more hazardous than others. Also, all people engaged in any manual work needs to be trained to tackle any possible dangers in the field.

The health problems relating to any physical labour may result to be fatal in the long run. For instance, degradation of the musculoskeletal system due to continual lifting and handling activities is widespread and dangerous. Moreover, heavy lifting and disorientation in work deteriorate the health condition even further. That’s why the employees must take necessary training, and employers must ensure that.

Our Manual Handling and Work-related Accidents course is designed to offer the workers with enough knowledge that allows them to ensure overall safety in the workplace. You will get in-depth knowledge on handling of loads, the musculoskeletal system, and musculoskeletal disorders. Alongside, you will understand the responsibilities of the employer on risk assessment and mitigation, labelling of loads, online guidance of HSE and other related legislation (MOHR). Therefore, you will be able to work in conditions that would favour you, your employees, and your organisation.
