Manual handling activities are one of the most common causes of workplace injuries, particularly musculoskeletal disorders affecting the back, shoulders, and limbs. Organisations must ensure employees understand how to move loads safely and recognise risks associated with lifting, carrying, pushing, and pulling tasks.
This mentor-led programme provides practical guidance on safe manual handling techniques, hazard identification, and risk reduction. Participants will explore how to assess tasks, apply ergonomic principles, and use simple methods to prevent injuries in everyday work activities.
Through practical scenarios and demonstrations, learners will practise safe lifting techniques and evaluate manual handling risks in typical workplace situations such as warehouses, offices, and service environments. By the end of the course, participants will be able to perform manual handling tasks more safely and contribute to a safer workplace culture.
