Manual Handling Training
Course Title
Manual Handling Awareness
Course Overview
More than a third of all over-three-day injuries reported each year to HSE and local authorities are caused by manual handling - the transporting or supporting of loads by hand or by bodily force. The Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992, as amended in 2002 (the Regulations) apply to a wide range of manual handling activities, including lifting, lowering, pushing, pulling or carrying. The load may be either inanimate - such as a box or a trolley, or animate - a person or an animal. Current Legislation places a responsibility on employers to provide adequate training to make aware the risks and potential hazards.
Who Should Attend
People who are involved in the wide scope of manual handling this abnormally applies to the majority of the workforce in all sectors of industry.
