What Is Manual Handling Training?
At its core, manual handling training teaches employees how to perform workplace manual handling tasks safely while recognising the potential risk factors and hazards that might trigger injury. Such tasks might include:
- Lifting
- Carrying
- Pushing
- Pulling
- Lowering
- Holding
- Moving heavy loads
Hazardous manual tasks are responsible for many musculoskeletal injuries each year. For this reason, businesses should have effective handling training programs in place to improve their workplace safety and prevent staff injuries.
What’s Covered in Your Manual Handling Training Course
Our manual handling courses will teach your staff the practical skills they need to maintain safe work practices. This includes:
- Recognising manual handling hazards before beginning work.
- Understanding how poor movement patterns increase injury risks.
- Improving body positioning to minimise stress during repetitive and physically demanding work.
- Applying safe lifting techniques during everyday manual handling tasks.
- Using mechanical aids, including slide sheets, to reduce physical effort where appropriate.
- Reducing exposure to risk factors associated with awkward postures, repetitive movements and sustained force.
- Applying safe manual handling principles that align with their workplace requirements.
Training Formats: Onsite, Online & Custom
Our Brisbane city training programmes are designed to suit organisations of every size and industry.
One of our most popular solutions is our onsite manual handling training. Delivered at your workplace, it allows employees to practise safer techniques using their own equipment, work areas and everyday tasks.
As many businesses operate through multiple sites or have a remote workforce, our online manual handling training course allows staff to complete it at their own pace.
Additionally, we can also deliver manual handling training through a train-the-trainer model. This enables organisations to maintain consistent safety standards across their workforce.
Manual Handling Risk Assessments in Brisbane
To complement our training, we also perform manual handling risk assessments that identify workplace-specific hazards before they result in injuries. By combining a manual handling risk assessment with staff training, businesses can better understand how work is performed and therefore identify opportunities to reduce unnecessary physical strain.
Through their manual handling assessment, our consultants assess your staff’s work activities and identify manual handling hazards. They also review current work practices and recommend practical control measures that help minimise risks, reduce injury rates and create better ongoing workplace health.
Assessments vs Training vs Train-the-Trainer: Which Do You Need?
- Risk Assessment: Evaluates your current procedures to identify potential dangerous work practices, and recommends measures to reduce exposure to risk.
- Online or Onsite Manual Handling Training: Gives employees the practical training, essential skills and knowledge they need to conduct manual tasks safely.
- Train-the-Trainer: This course enables nominated employees to continue reinforcing safe manual handling practices and workplace procedures throughout the organisation.
Our Process: From Assessment to a Safer Workplace
Our experienced team develops each program around your operational requirements through a process that includes:
- Consultation to understand your workplace activities and physical requirements.
- Workplace observation and practical assessment of everyday manual handling tasks.
- On-the-job training using your own equipment, workstations and manual handling activities.
- Written recommendations and ongoing guidance to strengthen workplace safety and prevent workplace injuries over the long-term.
