Manual Handling
To view detailed information for this workshop view the pdf below:
Manual HandlingThe duration of this course is a half day. Manual handling injuries account for more than a quarter of all the accidents reported to the Enforcing Authorities each year. Manual handling is an everyday part of working life and is conducted in one form or another in all business. Injuries can happen in offices and shops as well as warehouses, manufacturing and workshops.
Coupled with the moral and legal duty to look after your staff's health and safety, litigation from injured staff is becoming common. In order to help mitigate the risks involved with manual handling tasks (lifting, carrying, pushing and pulling) it is important that proper training is given to staff.
Teaching and Learning strategies:
The teaching and learning strategies employed in this programme by the training consultants are based on the philosophy of experimental learning - "learning through doing". Delegates are encouraged to participate as individuals and within groups.
A variety of methods are employed to deliver and enhance the learning experience. Trainer-led input is complemented by a variety of activities such as skills practice (role-play), practical exercises, discussions, presentations and case studies.
