In a nutshell

What this course aims to achieve

Master handling techniques and apply physical safety principles

One day to learn to handle loads without injury: understanding the back, adapting posture, organising the workstation and saving effort.

Key challenges

  • Back pain builds slowly: it is not linked to a specific action and people carry on until sick leave.
  • Good postures learnt in class vanish when pace increases or the workstation is badly designed.

Learning objectives

  • Explain how the back works and injury mechanisms.
  • Apply physical safety and effort-saving principles.
  • Spot work situations to improve and propose solutions.
  • Use handling aids.
