1. STAFF SAFETY TRAINING COURSES
MANUAL HANDLING TRAINING
Why should I do it ?
Under the provisions of the 2005 Safety, Health & Welfare
at Work Act and the 2007 General Applications Regulations
where manual handling duties cannot be eliminated
employees must be provided with instruction and training to
ensure safe manual handling practices are carried out in the
workplace.
The course is of three hours duration and utilises full a multi-
media presentation as part of an instructive and informative
session.
Course Agenda
The course consists of four modules:-
To highlight legal responsibilities of
Employers and Employees
To look at the anatomy of the spine and
how it works
To raise awareness about the risk of injury
from manual handling of loads, however
“harmless” the load appears
To enable participants to understand and
practice the use of correct lifting and
manual handling techniques
