Manual handling is any activity involving the use of the muscular force to lift, move, push, carry, hold or restrain an object/person.
Physio Whyalla is available to provide Manual handling training session’s onsite or offsite for new employees as well as a refresher session for existing employees.
A specific program can be designed to target the requirements of the specific industry or company. Not only do we teach attendees safe manual handling techniques, we also provide them with the background of why safe manual handling is important. We provide examples of poor manual handling techniques and common injuries resulting from poor manual handling.
Due to the time required to complete manual handling training, booking well in advance is required.
