Coalfields Regeneration Trust - Manual Handling Course
Created: 08/09/2017Manual handling relates to the moving of items either by lifting, lowering, carrying, pushing or pulling. The weight of the item is an important factor, but many other factors can create a risk of injury, for example the number of times you have to pick up or carry an item, the distance you are carrying it, where you are picking it up from or putting it down (picking it up from the floor, putting it on a shelf above shoulder level) and any twisting, bending, stretching or other awkward posture you may adopt while doing a task. This course is designed to build your skills and knowledge of how to carry out tasks that involve lifting, lowering, carrying, pushing or pulling items around the workplace safely.
