One Day Course

Practice safe manual handling

Prevent injuries and empower your team in just 2 hours.

Please note: Member credits available for use on this course

This interactive workshop provides managers and employees with the skills needed to prevent musculoskeletal injuries, the most common type of injury in Australian workplaces. Look after the wellbeing of your employees and avoid costly workers’ compensation claims by empowering your employees to identify, assess, and reduce manual handling risks.

In addition to understanding why musculoskeletal injuries happen and demonstrating safe lifting techniques, we train your employees to identify, assess and control manual handling risks in their own work areas, promoting a positive safety culture where employees and managers share responsibility for safe manual handling.
