Moving and Handling
Handling injuries are one of the most common causes of workplace absence and most are preventable. We train on your site, with the loads and equipment your people actually deal with.
Who this course is for
Warehousing, logistics, retail, care settings, kitchens and any role that involves lifting, pushing or supporting loads.
What the course covers
- Manual handling regulations and duties
- The anatomy of the spine and how injuries happen
- Risk assessment using TILE
- Safe lifting technique, practised properly
- Team lifting and communication
- Pushing, pulling and carrying
- Handling aids and equipment
- Reducing risk through better layout and process
Worth knowing
This one works best on your own premises with your own loads, so the technique transfers straight to the job.
How it is delivered
We come to you. Training runs at your own premises, which keeps your people on site and means the practical work happens in the environment they actually work in. If your site is not suitable we can arrange a venue instead, which is usually discussed when you book.
We are based in Glasgow and cover Glasgow, Edinburgh, Stirling, Dundee, Aberdeen, Carlisle, Newcastle, Argyll, Highlands and Islands and Cumbria, and we will travel further for the right booking. See areas we cover.
