Think about the last time you lifted an object that was heavier or more awkward than you anticipated. Maybe you got away with I, maybe you tweaked your back a little? Performing a manual handling task incorrectly, even just once, can have dire consequences.

Manual handling injuries are some of the most common injuries in the workplace, and are frequently severe and cannot always be completely treated, leading to chronic ongoing problems.

Well manual handling is any activity requiring effort to lift, move, push, pull, carry, hold or restrain any object. It is encountered in all areas of the retail industry from lifting stock, to moving furniture and cleaning.

Aveling’s Manual Handling for Hospitality course will teach you how to properly identify, plan and perform manual handling tasks to help make sure your workplace remains safe and injury-free.

You’ll learn about ergonomic hazards and the risks and consequences of poor manual handling techniques. You’ll also explore the legal requirements and responsibilities for yourself and your employer.

A key factor in minimising your risk of injury is to properly assess a manual handling task and plan your approach. In this course you’ll learn to understand proper lifting techniques and using mechanical aids.

This short online course gives you a great introduction to manual handling and how to approach manual tasks in a safe way.
