Manual Handling Fundamentals

We start our training sessions by teaching your employees the following:
​
  • ​Discussion and education of key injury prevention principles.
  • Discussion of how manual handling injuries occur, and the different types of manual handling injuries, such as traumatic and accumulative/repetitive injuries.
  • Education regarding common postures and body positions that often lead to a manual handling injury. 
  • How to prepare the body to perform manual handling tasks easier and safer. 
  • Postural techniques and tips to make manual tasks easier.
  • Education and demonstrations to safely perform the key manual tasks of lifting, carrying, pushing, pulling, dragging, twisting, and reaching.

Task Specific Education 

Once we have taught your employees the fundamentals of injury prevention and the key principles of manual handling, we move on to focusing on the specific tasks that your staff perform in their daily workplace duties. 

This includes demonstrations and discussions of the exact tasks that your staff perform at work, so that they can better understand how to implement the injury prevention and manual handling principles that they have just learnt, in their daily workplace duties. ​
