Manual Handling Training Courses

Our Manual Handling Training Courses are half-day courses delivered at your place of work.

Fit4Work’s knowledge of human anatomy coupled with our ability to identify the effects of high risk activities on the body make our Manual Handling Training Courses unique.

As our trainers are Chartered Physiotherapists and have treated musculoskeletal injuries for many years, they are able to provide you with detailed information as to how injuries occur and how to prevent them.

The Manual Handling Training Course is theory-based and offers practical participation.

There is so more to manual handling than simply picking up and carrying.

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.

Manual handling training courses are about so much more than compliance, they are a way to safeguard employee health, and are an extension of a company’s duty of care.

Our Manual Handling course is suitable for any employee who may be required to handle, carry, or move objects as part of their job.

The Manual Handling Training Course will provide delegates with knowledge of basic manual handling techniques. When implemented, these techniques can reduce the chance of accidents and ill health and ultimately increase productivity in the workplace.

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

No standard soundbites here! Fit4Work provide training that spans beyond the typical textbook teachings and delves deep to provide learners with a greater knowledge of safe manual handling techniques. Pulling from not only Angela’s extensive knowledge understanding of the human body and the ways in which musculoskeletal injuries can be caused, avoided, and treated, Fit4Work manual handling courses truly offer the upper hand.
