Manual Handling Awareness

This course provides an introduction to the hazards associated with Manual Handling in the workplace and provides learners with an understanding of the injuries or long-term health conditions that could result from poor Manual Handling technique. 

We then consider various methods to reduce the risks posed by poor Manual Handling, either by avoiding the task altogether, or by adopting correct lifting techniques. 

This course is tailored to an outdoor education setting, incorporating realistic examples of how techniques could be applied whilst working in the outdoors.

This is an essential course for anyone who may be involved in Manual Handling tasks in the workplace.
