Manual handling is any activity where a person moves a load by lifting, lowering, pushing, pulling, holding or restraining. A typical example is transporting heavy boxes by hand in a warehouse. The risk of carrying out a manual handling task without proper training is an injury to the spine, arms, legs and joints

Participants will learn everything they need to know about moving loads safely in the workplace. Our ISM instructor will explain how a load carried can impact the joints and muscles and the long-term effects of poor manual handling technique on the skeleton. Participants will watch and engage in a practical demonstration of lifting, pushing, pulling and storing loads. Everyone will finish the course with a greater understanding of safe manual handling practices in the workplace.
