Manual Handling Training Course Program in Australia

Manual Handling Training for the Modern Australian Workplace

Even with the greatest product on the market or service that customers simply cannot get enough of, unless your workforce has the ability to comfortably and competently carry out their jobs, you cannot expect growth or indeed profitability. The workplace is where the vast majority of people will spend the bulk of their day and so it is imperative that it is designed and thought through in a manner that promotes healthy and safe practices.

Here at Corporate Work Health Australia, we develop and implement manual handling training in a bespoke manner for companies throughout the country who choose to take a proactive approach to their employees’ wellbeing. Our goal is to reduce the risk of injuries becoming a common occurrence in your workplace, to educate your staff so that they can follow best practice solutions and, as a consequence, to improve your productivity and bottom line.

Our complete and comprehensive solutions make it possible for companies in all industries to access a tailored program that is designed around their needs and specific work processes. Our follow through program ensures that monitoring and measurement reports track the progress of the changes you make following the delivery of our manual handling course and as we re-assess your business, they stand to go from strength-to-strength.

How Manual Handling Training Positively Impacts Your Business

It is very easy to accept the norms and practices of a company once it is up and running. The original staff will develop ways of working that they then pass along to each new hire, but this can prove detrimental to the overall efficiency of the business where those practices are poorly thought through.

At Corporate Work Health Australia, we know from our vast experience that a well-crafted manual handling program can do wonders to raise the awareness levels of employees to the potential dangers that they face every day. It emphasises how their behaviour has a negative impact and through re-education, this can help them to better understand how good practices will increase their efficiency and ability to work comfortably.

We believe that the best way to train a workforce is by doing so in their work environment. Having the ability to see the new techniques performed at their work stations and being able to participate ensures that their learning is relatable and, therefore, easier to pick up.

What every business gains from undertaking manual handling training courses does not just come from seasoned professionals here at Corporate Work Health Australia. Engaging with your workers will open your eyes to issues that they have with regards to their work practices, where they see problems and where they have identified risk.

Taking a collaborative approach to improving the overall safety of the company will make for a much more engaging, informative and rounded means to changing it in a positive way.

Common Causes of Manual Handling Injuries

Different managerial styles have created some of the greatest companies in the world. Some are driven forward by the ambition and inspiration of their leaders, while others adopt a synergistic approach that combines to achieve great things.

What they have in common are great people, great employees, the worker bees that push productivity. Manual handling training is a tool that all managers, regardless of their style, should view as a means of protecting the assets that create value under their employ and promoting a greater degree of cohesion in workplace health.

The best kind of workplace is one that promotes open communication. Here at Corporate Work Health Australia, we have worked with many different companies and those that engage with the manual handling training courses that we develop and deliver typically share an enthusiasm for communication that brings the need for training to the attention of those that hold the purse strings.

Embracing Simple, Smart Solutions

Manual handling injuries are the product of poor work practices and a lack of effective ergonomic systems. A culture that ignores an employee’s complaints about the twinges in their back when they complete certain tasks fails to notice the early warning signs of a problem that could develop into something much greater.

Companies with a culture of open communication take such complaints as a red flag that needs to be addressed. A simple tweak to the workspace or a new chair could make all the difference, or it could be through training that the team learns how best to handle materials in a manner that protects their bodies.

A manual handling course always contains a lot of information that on the face of it seems obvious, but in truth, has never really been vocalised within the workplace to that point. Sometimes for a company to change its ways an impartial outside voice is needed to discuss such issues and pinpoint the possible negative outcomes that could arise from a failure to change.

At Corporate Work Health Australia, we specialise in tailoring our training methods to the companies that we work for. Over an hour and a half, or two and a half hours, your team can engage with practical and theoretical components that are relevant to their work. Instead of choosing an off the shelf program that delivers generic information, choosing to directly engage the workforce enables practical education and allows your team to practice manual handling tasks in the workplace.

Any business that believes that they could do things differently to reduce the number of injuries reported as a result of poor practices should first speak with their workers to determine where they see problems. Systems are often designed in isolation from practical application and it is only when feedback is sought that any problematic elements come to light.
