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

Course Certification

All our instructors have completed an instructors’ course as designated by the guidelines issued by the

Health and Safety Authority. On completion exam / assessment each successful attendee is awarded a
