Safer Manual Handling (Objects)
Training Course
This comprehensive, 3 hour course introduces delegates to the hazards and risks involved in manual handing. It will equip delegates with the ability to develop safer manual handling techniques in the workplace, which will contribute to the reduction of accidents and injuries in the work place, which in turn benefits both the employers and employees.
The course can be tailored to meet the needs of your particular workplace and individual needs and our expert trainers will make this course interesting and relevant to the workplace for the delegates.
The course is aimed at all employees and we recommend that employers should consider safer manual handling as part of induction training for all new employees.
Assessment and Certification
All delegates are assessed throughout the course.
Successful delegates will receive a certificate of attendance valid for 3 years and First on Scene Training will send an automatic reminder to both the customer and delegate 3 months prior to the expiry date of the certificate. Certificates can be renewed and skills updated by attending a 3 hour Safer Manual Handling course.
