Manual Handling and Loading Training
How secure is your driver’s load? It’s important for both drivers and porters to be aware of the importance of safe loading, and the potentially dangerous or expensive consequences of having an insecure load.
Even though you cannot eliminate the risks involved completely, by completing this course you can learn to reduce the risks to be as low as is practically possible.
This theory and practical course utilises manual handling skills to ascertain items are being carried and manoeuvred correctly. This will prevent injuries to individuals or your colleagues. We also introduce aids to assist in making the job easier – working smarter, not harder.
