Manual Handling of Objects Course
About the course
This comprehensive Manual Handling of Objects course was developed to equip employees with the knowledge of safe moving and handling practices. Moving and handling makes up part of nearly everyone’s working day; at some point your employees are likely to move or handle equipment, laundry, catering, supplies, waste or assist people in moving. Poor moving and handling practice can lead to back pain and musculoskeletal disorders. In turn, this can lead to the inability to work.
This course is an awareness only and does not provide the learner with skills to practice safe handling in the workplace. Further practical training should be given by the employer
