Incorrect manual handling is a leading cause of workplace injuries. Ensure your team is well-trained with SuperSkills Manual Handling Training.
To address manual handling issues, the Manual Handling Operations Regulations were introduced, specifying duties for both employees and employers.
These regulations mandate that employees receive proper training to handle items correctly, including the use of any equipment provided by their employer for safe load handling.
It’s not just a best practice; it’s a legal requirement for staff to be trained in manual handling, and our course fulfils this obligation.
This course outlines exactly what constitutes manual handling and covers the regulations and legislation that apply to manual handling tasks.
It then goes on to cover safe handling techniques and how to develop good habits in relation to manual handling.
It finishes off by introducing some practical solutions and the use of mechanical aids.
Training your employees with our online system will give them greater awareness of the dangers that poor manual handling poses, as well as covering safe handling techniques, practical solutions to manual handling issues and the use of mechanical aids.
It’s not just compliance; it’s about creating a safer workplace.
