Our course gives employers and employees the understanding, training and skill of how to comply with the MHOR (1992) regulation. The course detail describes the legislation and what it involves. Sutents then study the anatomy of the back so that delegates may better understand how the back works and have to lift to prevent injury.
The course is presented through hands on training, using practical learning and powerpoint and video.
At the end of the course the students will be awarded a Manual Handling Training certificate valid for 3 years.
