What Is Manual Handling Training?
Manual handling refers to any task that requires lifting, lowering, carrying, pushing, pulling or moving loads. Our manual handling training teaches employees how to complete these activities using proper manual handling techniques. It also helps them to recognise hazardous manual tasks, and understand the risk factors that can potentially trigger an injury.
On successful completion of the training, your staff should have improved their decision-making and work behaviours to create a safer workplace environment.
What’s Covered in Your Manual Handling Training Course
Every manual handling course we run is built around the work your employees perform. They combine theoretical knowledge with hands-on training to help participants:
- Identify hazardous manual tasks before starting work
- Learn safe lifting techniques for carrying, pushing and pulling loads
- Understand body mechanics and how poor movement contributes to injury
- Safely use manual handling equipment, manual handling tools, mechanical aids and slide sheets
- Appreciate risk control measures for potentially hazardous manual tasks
- Develop strategies to safely conduct manual tasks in different workplace environments
- Formulate injury prevention strategies that help reduce physical strain over time
Training Formats: Onsite, Online & Custom
As every organisation works differently, we offer flexible delivery options to clients across the Gold Coast.
Our onsite manual handling training is our most popular program. It includes an in-person session where employees learn essential skills, proper lifting techniques and complete hands-on practice using their own workplace and equipment.
For businesses that allow for flexible working arrangements or operate out of multiple sites, our online manual handling training course gives staff members the flexible scheduling to participate at their own pace.
We also develop customised manual handling train-the-trainer programs for organisations that want to empower their staff to provide ongoing education to other team members.
Manual Handling Risk Assessments in Gold Coast
Training explains how to work safely. However, a manual handling risk assessment identifies where improvements can be made within your workplace requirements.
When performing one, our consultants will observe how employees do their manual handling activities. They will also review your premises to identify potential manual handling hazards and recommend how to conduct manual tasks safely to reduce workplace injuries.
These recommendations will align with the principles of Safe Work Australia’s National Code for Hazardous Manual Tasks.
Assessments vs Training vs Train-the-Trainer: Which Do You Need?
- Risk Assessment: Practical assessment of your current work practices to identify opportunities to reduce manual handling hazards.
- Manual Handling Training: Enables your employees to develop the practical skills they need to complete physical work safely.
- Train-the-Trainer: Allows organisations to develop the knowledge base in-house to reinforce safe manual handling practices.
Our Process: From Assessment to a Safer Workplace
We do not deliver the same presentation to every client. Instead, we build every program around the work their employees actually perform.
Our approach includes:
- Discussing your workplace activities and operational objectives
- Observing employees undertaking everyday manual handling tasks
- Delivering practical training using workplace-specific equipment and scenarios that explain safe manual handling techniques
- Providing written recommendations, practical solutions, and ongoing guidance that support continuous improvement.
Course Duration, Certificate & Pricing
Our Gold Coast manual handling training sessions generally run for between 1.5 and 2.5 hours, depending on how many people are participating. Once the course has finished, all employees will receive a nationally recognised manual handling certificate.
We offer competitive pricing for our Gold Coast courses. While the amount we charge will vary depending on which program you choose, the training materials required, and how many people take part, we are happy to give you a free quote.
