MANUAL HANDLING

Service Description

Understand the legal framework and the practical steps needed to minimise and control the risks of lifting, moving, and handling. Knowing how to move objects and service users safely is vital for healthcare professionals to avoid injury. Not only within a healthcare context, but more generally, moving or lifting objects is a common cause of injury at work. Our accredited Manual Handling course addresses the key risks and practical aspects associated with lifting, moving, and handling. We begin our training with a broad overview of relevant legal guidelines and quickly get onto practical steps for assessing and controlling risks when undertaking various manual handling operations. Our trainers engage you with practical demonstrations, the use of video, and group discussions. This course is ideal for employees working in health care and settings where moving people is commonplace. It is also suitable for those undertaking manual handling operations as part of their work.
