A few more words about this course

This course attempts to fill the knowledge gaps that busy people have when moving items at work, as these are the very foundations of manual handling. 
Throughout this course you will discover how school staff:

  • Make use of lifting equipment
  • Make decisions on what to lift and how
  • Work as a team when moving heavy equipment
  • Think about your posture throughout the day

Course reviews

I thought the training course went really well. Although virtual isn't quite the same as face to face, it meant that I didn't have to travel and could do the training from my office or even from home on two of the occasions! It was a nice small group so there was lots of opportunities to ask questions and get advice which was really good. Adele has been really helpful by providing lots of support and advice. Thank you.

Adele is an excellent Trainer on this huge subject, she is knowledgeable and enthusiastic which is infectious when you are lucky enough to be on one of her courses! A very enjoyable course, also good to speak to people in similar positions regarding similar incidents that have been dealt with. The only negative was losing the 'WiFi' ....thanks Virgin!
