Who should attend and why?
Manual handling training is a line management responsibility. Manual handling trainers may be line managers themselves or may be those appointed to carry out the training on line manager’s behalf. Delegates must be familiar with the handling problems faced by those to be trained and be either experienced trainers or able to speak to groups of staff. The training of in-depth presentation skills are not part of the course. Manual Handling occurs as a part of many work activities and with productivity demands also increasing in many sectors; these jobs hold the potential for musculoskeletal disorders. By its basis in and combination with risk management principles, this course trains delegates to design and deliver effective handling training within their own organisations. It also enables trainers to understand when training may not be a suitable risk control measure. Importantly, the course centers on principles of safe handling rather than on specific handling techniques allowing trainers to adapt their knowledge and training skills to the widest possible variety of handling situations. By having competent in-house trainers with local knowledge of the operations undertaken, organisations will be able to provide training that is relevant to local manual handling risks. Since these trainers will also be able to account for wide variances in day to day operational conditions and changing work patterns, organisations can also ensure a continual capability to modify handling training to meet evolving needs.
