This Manual Handling course is all about the proper use of lifting and handling techniques. This course teaches how to correctly lift as well as understanding weight limits and the injuries that can occur.

How long will this take?

SHEilds aim to create courses that can be absorbed quickly, so that staff do not require any more time than is required away from work.

Health and Safety for lifting a box?

We get a lot of people that question whether Health and Safety is appropriate for simply lifting a box. Whilst there are a lot of obvious solutions to problems, many of these are not reported to a Health and Safety officer because staff don’t understand the risks. This means that a problem can go unreported. If a problem is reported and nothing is done about it then it makes the employer liable. If an injury is caused as a result of negligence the compensation claims can be very high.
