Manual Handling and Postural Awareness
 Back injuries can affect all people, in all job roles and all industry sectors. Many are irreversible and can result in significant periods of absenteeism, costing both employers and employees dear. Contrary to popular belief, most manual handling injuries are accumulative as a result of repetition of movement and bad posture, as opposed to lifting heavy objects. Prevention stems from an understanding of posture, so that principles of correct moving and handling can be applied in all situations.A significant amount of this course is dedicated to practical moving and handling exercises. |
What will delegates learn? ● Employee responsibilities ● The types of injury and common causes, including the contribution of activities both within and outside of the workplace ● How to apply principles of good posture ● How to apply efficient movement principles ● The practical application of these techniques in a range of lifting scenarios. |
