Day 2 - Covers the risk assessment process, injuries, and anatomy. Learners will be able to conduct detailed manual handling risk assessments and will be able to recommend control measures that will cut the risk of manual handling injuries. They will also gain a good knowledge of anatomy and how injuries occur.
Day 3 - Covers training skills. Learners will gain practical knowledge of the skills required to successfully deliver a manual handling training course. Learners will also cover the basics of safe lifting techniques.
