Our Manual Handling course is designed to provide participants with the knowledge to conduct all manual handling activities in a safe manner that will prevent injury and is based on the HSA course guidelines.

The course deals with informing participants on the consequences of incorrect manual handling, because if people understand the consequences of incorrect lifting they will pay more attention to lifting correctly, as someone who suffers from severe sciatica and due to my past experiences, I can explain this in great detail to those who don’t believe in manual handling… besides this aspect of the course, on completion, participants will also be able to:

• Perform specific Manual Handling tasks competently to a recognised standard
• Complete essential risk assessment prior to completing manual handling tasks
• Identify Ergonomic factors associated with their work activities
• Complete a series of exercises designed to improve awareness
• Learn about legal responsibilities for both the employee and the employer
• Complete a test comprising of ten questions and do practical demonstrations

All trainees who successfully complete the course will receive a fully verifiable certificate valid for 3 years from the date of assessments completion.
