This comprehensive course is suitable for anyone in an organisation who is required to handle, lift, push or move any load from office workers, contstruction workers to production line operators. Under health and safety legislation, there is a duty to identify where the moving of loads could lead to a significant risk of injury and then to take common sense measures to reduce the risk. Avoidance of the risk is always the best option, typically followed by the use of machinery. However, for most businesses, manual handling by people will always be required for some tasks - as will manual handling training, to ensure that they do it as safely as possible.
