What is manual handling?

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.

Safe pass health and safety training

ENSURING SAFETY IN YOUR WORKPLACE

Health & Safety Training

Health & Safety training is required by law for all employers and employees to ensure their safety, health and welfare. This is covered by the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005, which sets out employers’ and employees’ duties to maintain a safe work environment. The most common non-fatal injuries are manual handling-related, with 25% of these accidents happening in the industrial sector. Management of health and safety through training will reduce the chance of an accident in your workplace, improve staff morale and motivation, and save the company money overall. At ISM, we have a range of courses to provide employers and employees with the health and safety certification needed to manage risks in the workplace.
