Manual Handling Awareness Course content
This is a two hour theory and practical course and is delivered to those that carry/lift/transport any load classified as a manual handling task.
We focus on the regulations/risks and pictorial examples before doing a ‘practical’ MH session with the delegate(s).
The Manual Handling Operations Regulations state that employers should adopt a hierarchy of control measures:
- To avoid hazardous manual handling operations so far as is reasonably practicable
- To assess any hazardous manual handling hperation that cannot be avoided
- To reduce the risk of injury so far as is reasonably practicable
The regulations define manual handling as any “any transporting or supporting of a load (including the lifting, putting down, pushing, pulling, carrying or moving thereof) by hand or by bodily force”. In effect, any activity that requires an individual to lift, move or support a load will be classified as a manual handling task.
More than a third of all over three-day injuries reported each year to the HSE and local authorities are caused by manual handling-the transporting or supporting of loads by hand or by bodily force.
This part of the course looks at the task, the load, the working environment, individual capabilities of the staff and practical lifting sessions and entails the following:
- The Health and Safety at Work Act and Manual Handling Regulations
- Assessing hazards and risks
- Accident rates and injury types
- Your responsibilities and your employers
- The basic principles of manual handling in day-to-day working environment
- Assessing the load and accessories that may be required for the lift
- Practical session: Good lifting posture and lifting strategy
- Questions & finish
