Advantages of this course
- The HSE advise avoiding manual handling at work as best you can to reduce the risk of injury, but they acknowledge that this isn’t always possible. When manual handling cannot be avoided at work, you will know some of the steps you can take to reduce the risk of musculoskeletal disorders and how to protect yourself and others.
- Before starting any manual handling task, you need to plan ahead and assess the task. This course offers advice on what to do before starting a lift or handling task, and directs you to the manual handling assessment chart, risk assessment of pushing and pulling tool, and the assessment of repetitive tasks of the upper limbs tool.
- Websites and video resources are utilised to explain safe manual handling, and a good practice video demonstrates site safety
- Additional activities encourage the learner to reflect on the learning
- There is also suggested extra reading that gives both practical information and links to websites to expand knowledge
