Description
Train and assess your own workforce.
Our Manual Handling Train The Trainer course focuses on training individuals in the proper techniques for safely moving and handling objects. This includes low-risk roles like working in an office, to higher-risk roles such as Construction, Engineering, & Logistics. Manual handling training doesn’t just point out the bad, it helps to rectify it by showing best practices. One of the biggest causes of Lost Time Incident Frequency Rates in the workplace is poor manual handling; this course will help to reduce the likelihood of poor posture, poor technique, and poor planning.

Any person who wishes to train their internal employees or subcontractors in Manual Handling.
