We are all exposed at times to some form of manual handling such
as lifting, carrying, pulling and pushing actions that can be
compounded by simultaneous movements such as climbing or
pivoting. Personal injuries resulting from incorrect manual
handling in the workplace accounts for over one million working
days lost per year, as well as the pain and suffering
experienced by the casualties. Correct manual handling
techniques can make a huge difference.
The risks arising
from manual handling have been recognised by the Health and
Safety Executive (HSE) for many years, as evidenced in their
regulations and advisory activities promoting good practise.
The Regulations require employers to provide their employees
with health and safety information and training - supplemented,
as necessary, with more specific information and training on
manual handling injury risks and prevention.
This course
provides an ideal approach to safer and more effective manual
handling - not only meeting HSE recommendations, but also
promoting good and safe practices in any situations.
A range of subjects are covered that will equip
delegates to:
* Understand the reasons for safe
manual handling
* Understand how manual handling risk
assessments contribute to improving health and safety
*
Understand the principles, types of equipment and testing
requirements associated with manual handling safety
* Be able
to apply safe manual handling principles
Practical assessment is on-going by the instructor, cultimating
witha written test.
A level 2 national qualification,
(level 5 in Scotland), will be issued to the learner. This
qualification does not expire, but refresher training and
keeping up to date with changes to policies and procedures is
vital to keep the qualification current.
