The Basics of Manual Handling


Injuries when lifting or moving objects are commonplace in any industry as well as around the home. It’s true that some of these injuries aren’t especially severe, and, although painful, sprains or strains are the likely outcome of a manual handling injury. But even relatively small injuries can mount up and lead to things that put you out of action for weeks, or worse. With this manual handling course, and a little care, you can help to protect yourself and others around you from these injuries.

Learning outcomes:
  • Identify the leading causes of manual handling injuries and identify common risks
