What to Expect from your manual handling awareness training

We know our training is non-standard, so to help you prepare here’s an outline of what to expect!

✓ Why manual handling legislation exists and how it keeps you safe.

✓ What your duties are as an employer or employee.

✓ How to risk assess manual handling operations and then reduce risk where needed.

✓ How the main joints in the body function and how correct muscle engagement protects them.

✓ How to maintain physical health at work for a sustainable, pain-free career!

So there are no surprises, here are the main differences you can expect from your training day.

▶ You’ll fill out a screening questionnaire at the beginning of the day so we can tailor your practical session according to your needs.

▶ You’ll want to wear comfortable clothing for the afternoon practical session.

▶ This course is grounded in biomechanics and movement coaching - all movement questions are welcome!

▶ Some practical exercises may involve time on the ground or the use of props.

▶ You decide how much you wish to participate in the practical session, but the more you do the more you will get out of it!
