About Course
Manual Handling discusses the appropriate way to perform tasks, the risks associated and how to reduce workplace injury. Manual handling is the act of lifting, lowering or carrying an object or person. In this course, students are taught how to perform manual handling, including the use of workplace equipment and reporting procedures as risks arise. Upon completion of Manual Handling, students have the ability to perform tasks safely, productively and comfortably with a reduced risk of injury.
