Introduction
Manual Handling training is important if you in a role where you need to use some force to lift, lower, push, pull, restrain something such as a load, a person or animal. The handling of something does not even need to be particularly heavy because you could be required to be in an awkward position or be doing something repetitively – the risks of which being you sustain an injury. This makes manual handling a potentially hazardous activity.
Organisations have a duty of care to ensure that risks associated with the activity are minimised. In fact legislation and safety legislation at national, state and even industry level outlines a range of organisation and individual responsibilities for such operations – and is one of the reasons this training is important but can be overlooked in the context of other WHS responsibilities organisations have.
So, if you are involved in any form of manual movement check you are trained or request this accredited training to help protect yourself and your work colleagues. If you are an organisation it is worth checking that safety training schedules accommodate this important area of training for manual handling risk minimisation.
