Manual Handling Instructor

Network: 
Refrigeration Skillnet
Duration 5 days (3 days week 1, 2 days week 2)
Comment The Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Regulations 2007 require that all companies: (1) Carry out a manual handling risk assessment; (2) take appropriate steps to avoid or reduce manual handling risks; and (3) provide manual handling training to relevant staff.

But bringing in external consultants to carry our risk assessments and to provide training can be expensive and time-consuming. The solution? Send a select few on a manual handling instructor course and let them become instructors themselves. For a small outlay, you could save vast amounts of money by getting your own staff to train new members of the team. Not only will you benefit from the cost savings, but you will reap the benefits from your newly skilled staff who will appreciate the investment in them.
