This course will train delegates undertake formal manual handling risk assessments in their workplace. We will customise the course to your organisations specific manual handling/health and safety policy and risk assessment strategy. Prior to the course, our trainer will undertake a review with you to identify the manual handling risks and develop a tailored course accordingly, incorporating your own risk assessment form and procedures. We also include live handling operations to undertake risk assessments on during the course.
