Manual Handling

Lifting, carrying, pushing and pulling of loads can cause a range of injuries – from back problems to other musculoskeletal disorders. Training to lift and carry correctly forms an important part of reducing manual handling risks. This course is intended to give a very practical understanding of the risks involved and control measures required for lifting and carrying activities.

Who is it for?

Anyone who is likely to lift or carry as part of their daily role.
