Manual Handling

 

Manual handling training courses are designed to educate individuals on safe practices and techniques for lifting, carrying, pushing, or pulling loads manually. These courses are crucial in preventing musculoskeletal injuries and promoting workplace safety. This course has been designed to provide learners with an interactive learning experience that introduces them to the fundamentals of safe manual handling in the workplace.

Where other courses may solely focus on only the mechanics of good technique, JLD look to take a deeper, holistic approach to cover those core skills and more for those operating in warehouses, yards, supply chain and logistics operations, distribution centers and similar environments.

There are 7 sections providing approx. 4-5 hours of content.

  • What is manual handling

  • Anatomy of the spine and human movement

  • Personal capacity

  • Risk assessment

  • Manual handling technique

  • Pushing and pulling

  • Manual handling and pallets
