Course Overview

Poor manual handling practice is one of the most common causes of injury in the construction industry. Assessing each task and identifying methods to minimise the risks associated with manual handling, can significantly reduce the likelihood of injury. 

Manual handling is any activity that requires your force to lift, lower or carry something. Manual handling activities happen almost everywhere including, the construction industry, manufacturing, in the office, factories and also in the home

Manual Handling, is any activity requiring effort to lift, move, push, pull, carry, hold or restrain any object, including a person or animal. Our Manual Handling / Back Care course will teach you how to safely identify, plan and perform manual handling tasks to maintain an injury-free workplace.
