Manual Handling

Training Course • Agora Business Publications T/A SkillsforWork

About the CPD course

Pulling and pushing; as well as lifting; holding; carrying and setting down; are common load manual handling activities in normal working life. If loads are too heavy to hold or carry; they may be moved using wheeled equipment or manual handling aids; such as hand trolleys; pallet trucks; roll cages or wheelbarrows. This is usually associated with a reduction in physical strain. If the risks of manual handling solutions are not properly assessed; additional hazards may arise that result in musculoskeletal disorders. This training outlines the risks of manual handling and the measures employees can take to protect their health and safety.
