This course will give participants a basic understanding of the factors necessary to ensure their own safety and that of their colleagues. The course is based upon the principles of safe moving and handling of loads known as the 'kinetic' approach to manual handling.

At the conclusion of the course delegates will have an understanding of safe handling principles and posses the skills to avoid the dangers of careless and unskilled manual handling. The course is aimed at anyone who undertakes manual handling operations, and as it is very interactive, it is advised that delegates are reasonably fit and able to take part in the majority of practical handling activities and wear clothes to suit the occasion.

Course Material

Each delegate will be issued with a workbook to assist them both during and after the course - this workbook will contain information, guidance and forms to assist workers. The course is designed to be interactive, allowing delegates the opportunity to develop their skills with the support of the course tutor.
