Manual Handling Training in Melbourne

Cost-effective and practical manual handling training delivered onsite by experienced Occupational Physiotherapists, experts in teaching safe and healthy movement patterns and techniques. 
Effective manual handling training requires an understanding of movement, and how poor or incorrect movement patterns and techniques lead to injury. Our team of experienced and qualified Occupational Physiotherapists specialise in manual handling and have delivered successful training courses to organisations all across Melbourne. 

We teach your employees how to move safely and efficiently whilst performing their daily work activities, thereby providing them with the knowledge and skills to perform their work in the safest manner possible. 

Our manual handling training courses are practical and interactive, and are not just a powerpoint presentation.  This helps your staff retain the information we teach them, as movement patterns and techniques are best learned through doing and observing, not just reading.
What We Cover?
  1. Explain the relevant anatomy and biomechanical principles of safe and healthy movement.
  2. Discuss and demonstrate the common ways that manual handling injuries occur.
  3. Educate employees regarding their obligations under the OHS legislation to help prevent manual handling injuries from occurring.
  4. Educate workers and demonstrate the 5 key high risk movements and how to perform these movements safely.
  5. Discussion with workers, and practical demonstrations, of the manual handling tasks that are specific to their work activities (we observe these tasks first hand before delivering the training session).
  6. Q & A opportunity for employees to ask any questions that have not yet been covered.
  7. ​All participants get a certificate of completion.

Our Process?
We tailor the training session to be as specific to the physical demands of your workforce as possible. To enable us to do this, we visit your workplace to observe your workforce in action, so we can gain a thorough understanding of the physical demands your staff experience. ​We then design a manual handling training session that reflects these demands. 

What Industries?
We provide manual handling training to all industries.
 
Training Location?​
All of our manual handling training courses are done onsite at your workplace. This provides the most realistic environment for the training, as we can utilise any relevant equipment as part of the manual handling training session. 

Time Required?
Our manual handling training sessions typically run for between 60 - 90 minutes, depending on your requirements and the time you would like to allocate, the physical demands of your workforce, and your industry.
