Course Description

IIRSM, CPD & IOSH Approved.

Incorrect manual handling is one of the most common causes of injuries at work. To try to combat this, the Manual Handling Operations Regulations were introduced. The Regulations lay out duties for both employees and employers. This states that employees must be trained in correct manual handling and in the use of any equipment their employer provides to handle loads safely.

This course outlines exactly what constitutes manual handling and the regulations and legislation that apply to manual handling tasks. It also covers safe handling techniques and how to develop good habits in manual handling. It finishes off by introducing some practical solutions and the use of mechanical aids.

Please note that this is an awareness course only. If your duties include manual handling, you will also need to complete practical training. Contact us to arrange a practical training session for manual handling.

The facilities were excellent and training was top quality. I was made to feel comfortable and everything was explained very well. Many thanks.
I really enjoyed the whole experience from start to finish. I had plenty of seat time on the excavator. Trainer and tester were great couldn't ask for anything more from them.
Fantastic course. Matt and Danny both had great knowledge and fantastic communication skills with us. All the guys left BAM with a high level of skill and knowledge and more importantly very safe working practices on the machines.
Enjoyed the course. Trainers were helpful, instructive and patient. There's a lot to take in but they go at a steady pace without overwhelming you with information. Equipment was in very good condition.
Found the course challenging but enjoyable. Nick had plenty of experience to guide us in the right direction. Great use of models and tools to make it understandable. Facilities were spot on and everyone was friendly and welcoming.
