Manual Handling – Train the Trainer

“Thank you so much for the fabulous training you delivered to me which massively helped me deliver my session!! The course went really well yesterday. Thank you for sharing your extensive knowledge, I’ll try to pass on as much as I could ” – Linda Whiteley, CMS Distribution

The Manual Handling Train the Trainer course will equip you with the skills and knowledge you need to confidently deliver manual handling training within your company, whether it’s in person or remotely.

By training a trainer to operate within your organisation, the delivery of new skills, including manual handling, can be distributed throughout the workforce. This is much cheaper than sending individuals or groups for private tuition.

Individuals in physical lines of work in which this kind of training is essential, are required to pull, push, lift, lower, and of course, pick up and carry loads of varying weights and sizes. Actions that without effective manual handling training, pose a serious risk to their bodies.

For businesses who need an in-house trainer, Fit4Work’s manual handling train the trainer courses provide a superior learning experience.

Engaging learners and creating a relaxed atmosphere necessary for effective learning, Angela enables trainees to build their confidence and comfort in the material at a pace that suits them.

Creating skilled trainers, these courses go beyond building a knowledge and understanding of correct and controversial handling techniques, and help learners to grasp the skill of effective instruction, to ensure they’re comfortable communicating training material to their fellow employees.

The aim of our Manual Handling: Train the Trainer Course is to help you effectively train employees in an engaging and confident manner.

You will gain new skills, knowledge and understanding about how best to train others while reviewing current best practices in manual handling.

As well as learning about the anatomy of the spine, the risks associated with manual handling and health and safety legislation, we’ll demonstrate efficient movement principles and the correct posture to adopt during manual handling tasks.

You’ll also learn about the best ways to teach manual handling techniques to others and the latest manual handling best practices.

The course can be delivered in-house and can be tailored to include specific manual handling tasks and activities within your organisation. Please contact us for more information.

For one person the cost is £550.

For a group of up to eight people the cost is £1,600 which includes:

Designed and deployed by Angela Hinton MCSP HPC, a trusted provider of workplace health and safety training, and Chartered Physiotherapist and specialist in musculoskeletal injuries and rehabilitation, Fit4Work’s manual handling train the trainer courses provide a truly superior learning experience.

Spanning far beyond the typical textbook handling positions and teachings, Fit4Work train the trainer courses have been designed to help learners benefit from not only Angela’s knowledge and experience of both safe and controversial handling techniques, but her in-depth understanding of the human body and the ways in which musculoskeletal injuries can be caused, avoided and treated.

Including safely modified techniques, to help safely account for potential personal injuries, which standard techniques may not be appropriate for, Fit4Work courses truly offer the upper hand.

Fit4Work possibly provide “the” most in-depth and comprehensive manual handling train the trainer courses available.

Due to the outbreak of the coronavirus, we’re now offering our Manual Handling: Train the Trainer course via Zoom video call.

As demand for home deliveries has increased during the pandemic, many companies are taking on new staff to pick, pack and deliver orders. It’s vital that your new employees know how to handle loads safely and correctly to prevent injuries and protect your workforce.

The Manual Handling: Train the Trainer course will equip you with the skills and knowledge you need to confidently deliver manual handling training within your company, whether it’s in person or remotely.

The remote training will be just as comprehensive as our face-to-face Manual Handling: Train the Trainer course and we can train up to 6 people on one video call.

As well as learning about the anatomy of the spine, the risks associated with manual handling and health and safety legislation, we’ll demonstrate efficient movement principles and the correct posture to adopt during manual handling tasks.

You’ll also learn about the best ways to teach manual handling techniques to others and the latest manual handling best practices.

We’ll email you the course materials prior to the training and arrange a time for you to complete your assessment (ideally around a week after your initial training).

The assessment will be a 10-minute individual presentation on a manual handling topic of your choice that you’ll include in your training for your employees. You’ll present this remotely to your trainer.
