What Is Manual Handling Training?
Manual handling training teaches employees two main things. Firstly, how to conduct manual handling tasks safely, and secondly, the importance of recognising the hazards associated with lifting, carrying, pushing, pulling and applying hand or bodily force.
In the workplace, hazardous manual tasks contribute to many injuries. That is why we ensure that participants in our courses:
- Gain the knowledge required to recognise potentially hazardous manual tasks
- Learn how to apply proper manual handling techniques in a safe manner
- Understand the best ways to reduce unnecessary physical strain
What’s Covered in Your Manual Handling Training Course
Our manual handling training course gives your staff members the skills and knowledge they need to complete everyday manual tasks more safely.
This includes how to:
- Identify hazardous manual tasks before beginning work.
- Apply proper lifting techniques when carrying, moving and positioning loads.
- Use proper manual handling techniques to reduce injury risk.
- Best understand how bodily force and repetitive movements affect the body.
- Safely use mechanical aids, including slide sheets, where appropriate.
- Perform workplace activities using safe manual handling practices.
- Apply the skills and knowledge required to conduct manual tasks safely in their workplace.
Training Formats: Onsite, Online & Custom
Corporate Work Health Australia offer flexible handling training solutions to Adelaide clients that fit the way their organisation operates.
Our onsite manual handling training is a hands-on approach that allows participants to develop practical skills within their normal workplace. This face-to-face training helps employees to practise safe techniques relevant to their daily responsibilities.
Our online manual handling training course allows participants to complete the theory component from almost anywhere. This makes it ideal for fully remote organisations or those who operate out of multiple locations.
For organisations wanting to build their own internal capability, we also provide train-the-trainer programs. They help your business to reinforce safe work practices and deliver ongoing workplace education.
Manual Handling Risk Assessments in Adelaide
Our manual handling risk assessments help organisations understand how work is performed and where improvements can be made to reduce the risk of injury from improper manual handling skills.
Our consultants will:
- Observe everyday work activities
- Assess manual handling tasks
- Identify hazards
- Recommend practical improvements that support a safer workplace
Their recommendations will be tailored to your workplace and aimed at helping you to strengthen your workplace procedures.
Assessments vs Training vs Train-the-Trainer: Which Do You Need?
- Risk Assessment: Examines your workplace activities to determine risks and hazards. It then recommends solutions to reduce manual handling risks.
- Manual Handling Training: Helps your staff to develop the practical skills, knowledge and proper techniques they need to complete manual tasks safely.
- Train-the-Trainer: Empowers selected employees to continue delivering workplace education on safe manual handling procedures.
Our Process: From Assessment to a Safer Workplace
Every workplace performs manual handling differently, so every training program we deliver begins with understanding your work environment and operational requirements.
Our process includes:
- Consultation to understand your workplace activities and objectives.
- Observation of employees performing everyday manual handling tasks.
- Practical training using workplace equipment and realistic scenarios.
- A written report with practical recommendations and ongoing support to improve workplace safety.
