MANUAL HANDLING TRAINING COURSES

More than a quarter of accidents reported each year to the enforcing authorities are associated with manual handling.

With litigation and damages becoming common when an injury has been sustained it is important that proper training is given to operatives to ensure that they are not injured whilst transporting or supporting a load by hand or bodily force.

COURSE OBJECTIVE

The course is designed to assist delegates in identifying situations where manual handling techniques are absolutely necessary.

It provides the skills and knowledge required to perform manual lifting and handling operations competently and safely.

The course information is based on the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992, amended 2002. In addition, these regulations implement European Directive 90/269/EEC.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This course is suitable for all employees who may be involved in manual handling as any part of their duties.
