In this course, you’ll discover how mastering safe and effective manual handling techniques can prevent injuries and reduce pain. We’ll begin by defining manual handling and exploring the relevant legislation. Next, we’ll examine how the risk management framework fulfils our legal obligations. You’ll then learn to use risk assessment tools and apply the hierarchy of control. And lastly, we’ll cover key biomechanical principles—like optimising body mechanics for safe lifting—and wrap up with practical safety tips you can apply immediately.
