NEW BLENDED LEARNING COURSE
This comprehensive, 1 day course is suitable for all people involved in the moving and handling of people and is now delivered using a blended learning approach. This new method will see candidates complete the theory aspect of the training in their own time and spend 3 hours in the classroom covering the practical training element of the course.
The course is designed to give an introduction or up-date skills in the safer manual handling of people. It embraces the current guidelines set out in the Guide to Handling of People (7th Edition) and complies with current legislation.
The course introduces candidates to the hazards and risks involved in manual handing; and equips delegates with the ability to develop safer manual handling techniques in the workplace, which will contribute to the reduction of accidents and injuries in the work place, which in turn benefits both the employers and employees.
