This practical CPD-certified course provides an essential introduction to safe manual handling practices in the workplace. It equips learners with the knowledge and confidence to assess manual handling risks, implement control measures, and apply safe handling techniques to prevent injury, in line with current legislation and best practice guidelines Musculoskeletal injuries are among the most common and most preventable causes of workplace absence. They rarely come from a single dramatic lift; they accumulate through routine tasks done slightly wrong, many times over. This course gives your people the assessment habits and practical technique to interrupt that pattern, and gives your organisation documented evidence that it has trained them to do so.
