What Is Manual Handling Training?
Manual handling training teaches employees how to safely complete manual handling tasks by being aware of the potential for injury. It primarily covers everyday manual tasks such as lifting, carrying, pushing, pulling and moving loads.
Because poor manual handling is one of the leading causes of musculoskeletal injuries, it is important for businesses to ensure their staff receive effective handling training.
What’s Covered in Your Manual Handling Training Course
Our manual handling course gives your employees the skills and knowledge required to carry out manual handling work safely.
Participants learn how to:
- Follow workplace policies and procedures when conducting manual tasks.
- Recognise workplace hazards and apply appropriate risk control measures.
- Apply manual handling techniques that reduce injury risks.
- Use safe manual handling practices when lifting, carrying and moving loads.
- Safely use workplace equipment, including slide sheets, standing hoist and full hoist systems where relevant.
- Build their confidence through workplace-based activities and demonstrations.
Training Formats: Onsite, Online & Custom
Corporate Work Health Australia offers a selection of flexible training programs for businesses across Perth. They include our:
Our onsite face-to-face training gives participants the opportunity to practise manual handling techniques using their own workplace and equipment. This allows them to develop confidence and familiarity before applying new skills in their everyday roles.
Our online courses are ideal for organisations with remote teams or multiple sites. They provide your employees with the knowledge they need to perform manual handling activities safely.
If your organisation has an ongoing need for manual handling training, our train-the-trainer program can help to implement this operational requirement.
Manual Handling Risk Assessments in Perth
Our hands-on training courses are even more effective when supported by a manual handling risk assessment. If you choose to have one performed, our consultants will observe how your employees conduct manual handling tasks. They will also identify hazards and recommend practical risk control measures that reduce the likelihood of injuries.
The purpose of the assessment is to identify opportunities to create a safer working environment through improved health and safety policies and practices.
