Launceston Manual Handling Training & Risk Assessments

Workplace manual handling training delivered onsite at your workplace by expert workplace physiotherapists

We have been delivering manual handling training courses in Launceston and throughout Tasmania since 2015.

​Our manual handling training sessions are delivered by experienced workplace physiotherapists and trainers who are experts in workplace injury prevention. 

It's our goal to provide your employees with complete injury prevention education, providing a much more thorough training session than the old school approach of solely teaching correct lifting technique.  

​Our training still absolutely includes best practice manual handling techniques. However, we also strive to educate your employees so that they understand how injuries actually occur, and what physical signs and symptoms they can look out for which might suggest an injury is developing. By understanding what is happening in their body, your employees are better able to prevent slight discomforts or niggles from developing into lost-time injuries. 


We tailor our training sessions to be as specific as possible to the tasks that your staff perform. We don't use powerpoint presentations. Instead, we endeavour to make our manual handling training sessions engaging through group discussions, brainstorming and practical demonstrations.
