Manual Handling/H&S

Wallace School of Transport courses are designed to be suitable for the individual, tasks and environment involved. We use examples and provide relevant information and advice on:

• manual handling risk factors and how injuries can occur
• how to carry out safe manual handling, including good handling technique
• appropriate systems of work for the individual's task and environment
• use of mechanical aids
• practical examples allowing the trainer to confirm the operator is undertaking tasks safely

By the end of training, operators are trained to recognise loads whose weight, in conjunction with their shape and other features, and the circumstances in which they are handled, might cause injury.

And if required, after the operators have been given appropriate training, it would be no problem to confirm to supervisors and other more senior staff, details of the training delivered so all are aware of the good practices that have been recommended, so that they regularly encourage the workforce to adopt appropriate techniques and ensure they continue to be used.
