Manual Handling

Come on, put your back in to it! In most jobs, in almost all sectors, there are elements of manual handling. And with the moving of objects there is often questionable advice from well-meaning friends and colleagues.

Injuries as a result of manual handling equate to over one-third of all workplace injuries. This course provides the knowledge and skills to avoid you becoming a part of that statistic.

This e-learning course offers a comprehensive guide to best practices when it comes to manual handling. Ideal as part of staff induction, as refresher training for existing staff or for those looking to go on to achieve a recognised manual handling qualification.
