e-Manual Handling
This course is an introduction to manual handling and lifting techniques.
Handling goods causes 25% of all reportable accidents; many are avoidable and yet each one is capable of inflicting lifelong injury. Indeed painful backs, whether caused by accidents or not, lead to more days' absence from work than strikes.
For this reason it is important to learn how to lift and handle heavy objects at work. This e-learning course deals with simple lifting procedures encountered in an office environment.
