Manual Handling Awareness

Manual Handling Awareness Course

This course is ideal for anyone who undertakes manual handling activities and persons who have Managerial or Supervisory responsibilities as it includes training on how to complete a Manual Handling Risk Assessment among other aspects of legislation – primarily the Manual Handling Operations Regulations.

The course is delivered either by delegates attending a Classroom Venue or by attending a live Virtual Classroom, via our Online Heath and Safety Training – the choice is yours.

Our Course covers the following topics:

• Legal requirements of the Manual Handling Operations Regulations
• The nature of Manual Handling – What is Manual Handling?
• The Musculoskeletal System and Common Injuries
• How to complete a Manual Handling Risk Assessment (TILE)
• Practical, Safe Lifting Techniques

Benefits of Completing the Course:

• Training delivered by a Health and Safety Qualified Professional, this ensuring the quality of delivery and contents of the course.
• Establishes what your legal requirements are so that you can act accordingly.
• Identifies common Musculoskeletal injuries and the consequences of such.
• Provides you or your employees with the relevant knowledge to write ‘Suitable and Sufficient’ Manual Handling Risk Assessments (TILE).
• Helps to reduce Manual Handling related injuries.
• Assists in the mitigation of potential Employer liabilities.
• On completion of the course all delegates/attendees will be issued a Certificate of Attendance for your/their training records.
• Virtual classroom training offers a cost-effective means of training as it reduces travel time, potential time away from the workplace and overnight accommodation costs etc.

We recommend that this course be attended every 3-years due to lapses in good manual handling techniques and as legislation (the Manual Handling Operations Regulations) may change in the interim period.

Our Manual Handling Awareness course is a scheduled half day course and is delivered in two formats:

1. Classroom attendance, either at our venue (training facilities) or at your venue
2. Virtual Classrooms

Classroom Training

At Our Venue – this venue is suitable for up to 5 persons.

At Your Venue – the number of attendees being recommended to be up to 12 as this ensures optimum attendee participation and learning experience.

Virtual Classrooms Training

This delivery method is simple, convenient and cost effective as it reduces travel time, potential time away from the workplace and overnight accommodation costs etc.

On registration, we will invite you or your teams/employees via ‘Zoom’, this being a secured invitation facilitating two-way interaction whilst delivering the course.

This will allow us to broadcast into your home, offices, or training room via our HD Webcam, ensuring a quality image is delivered from our training facilities.

When Booking a Virtual Classroom Training Course Your Attention is drawn to the following:

• Due to the nature of the training course, each delegate will need to provide their email address to join; this for security reasons and so that we have a record of attendees for the subsequent issuing of certification etc – sorry but Group Registration is not permitted due to this.
• Each delegate will need a Laptop, PC or similar device with a front facing webcam (for example, a tablet); thereafter you are good to go – just sit back, ask questions and enjoy.
• We will limit delegate attendance to Virtual Classrooms to 12 persons this to optimise attendee participation and the learning experience.
