This includes workers in cleaning, retail, housekeeping, kitchen porter, construction, warehouse, and food packaging, clothing shops, retail, wholesale transportation, delivery drivers, manufacturing, mechanic, office workers.
The Course Objectives:
This course teaches participants how to perform manual handling tasks (light or heavy) safely, including how to assess risks (task, individual, load, environment) and perform safe lifts to avoid spinal, muscle, ligament or tendon injuries.
Under the Health, Safety & Welfare at Work Act 2005, employers must provide employees with adequate instructions, information, and training in a way that is likely to be understood. Because Manual handling training is "Job Specific" it is important that employers have there new staff retained even if they have a Manual handling cert in date from previous employment.
