Manual Handling Train the Trainer Case Study

A business identified the need to upskill their key health and safety / injury management team members in manual handling training so that they could deliver ongoing manual handling training within their organisation.

Background & Reason For Consultation

The business identified that they had gaps in their risk management program with regards to manual tasks and training because they only outsourced manual handling training every 2- 3 years.

The business has a large number of workers whose jobs are primarily manual task related and will often have new starters or casuals working within the organisation.

Proposed Services & Implementation

Corporate Work Health Australia consulted the business to determine what their current manual tasks risk management process incorporated and propsed the following services:

  • Consultation with current stakeholders within the organisation to discuss primary manual tasks, challenges, hazards and risks
  • Review of current manual handling training within the organisation
  • Development of customised manual handling training package that focused on new workers, tool box talks and refresher training
  • 2 day manual handling train the trainer course delivered to key workers who would deliver ongoing training
  • Review and catch up with key trained workers remotely and face to face at month 1, 3, 6 and 12.

Outcomes & Recommendations

Outcomes

  • Key stakeholders were trained so that they could deliver ongoing manual task training within the business
  • Development of a manual handling training program and specific training contents

Further Recommendations

  • Continue to review and monitor training materials, injuries and mechanisms within the workplace to identify areas to focus on and further develop training and risk management strategies.

Reduce Injuries and Compensation

Manual handling is the most common cause of injury in Australia. 107,355 serious claims were lodged in the 2014-15 financial year. Injury and musculoskeletal disorders led to 90% of these serious claims, with the most common traumatic joint/ligament and muscle/tendon injuries (almost 45%). In 2012–13, work-related injury and disease cost the Australian economy $61.8 billion. Injuries accounted for $28 billion (45%) of the cost.

Manual handling (now manual tasks 2010) means more than just lifting or carrying something. The term ‘manual tasks’ is used to describe a range of activities including lifting, lowering, pushing, pulling, carrying, moving, holding or restraining an object, animal or person. This means that all of your workers are exposed to and are at risk of manual handling injuries. Australian WHS (OH&S) legislation requires employers to identify, assess and control workplace hazards with the aim of injury prevention.

One of these hazards is the risk of injury caused by manual tasks. The national standard for manual tasks requires that all tasks in your workplace which involve manual handling are identified and that the risk of injury is assessed. Where there is risk of injury, suitable ‘control measures’ must be introduced. Manual handling train the trainer courses are one such control measure you could implement.
