Overview

No one plans to injure themselves while lifting or moving items at work. But it happens, a lot. Poor manual handling technique is a major cause of workplace injuries. And the subsequent musculoskeletal injuries sustained can range from mild discomfort to severe pain to more serious life-changing conditions.

And it’s not just about the injury to your body. Lengthy absence from your work can be damaging to your bank balance, your career and your happiness, too. This short e-learning course will help learners understand the fundamentals of manual handling to help them avoid injuries and stay fit and healthy at work.

Objectives

  • Learn why manual handling techniques are so important
  • Learn how to minimise the risk of injury
  • Understand more about how the law protects employees
  • Learn the fundamentals of manual handling to stay safe at work
  • Avoid painful injuries and forced time off work.

Audience

This course is suitable for anyone that has to move items as part of their work (even office workers get injured). But it’s particularly important if your job involves physical work.
