Overview
Health and safety legislation requires that every employee engaged in manual handling is trained in safe lifting techniques. Compensation claims arising from manual handling injuries are heavily influenced by whether the employer provided adequate training.
The majority of accidents reported each year result from back injuries caused by poor manual handling. This course covers techniques to minimise the risk of injury from lifting, pulling, pushing and carrying.
