Overview
Our Manual Handling Assessor training has been developed to reduce accidents resulting from poor manual handling, a major cause of loss-time injuries for organisations. Having staff trained in how to complete suitable and sufficient manual handling risk assessments can help to reduce such incidents and promote a positive safety culture.
This one-day course includes our standard manual handling awareness training followed by practical instructions on how to correctly use the HSE MACC & RAPP tools to complete detailed manual handling assessments.
Designed and promoted by the Health and Safety Executive, this approach to manual handling assessor training will help your organisation meet its legal requirements.
The qualification is suited to employers and employee representatives who want to start assessing manual handling risk in their organisation, and implement effective control measures. It will also help those already involved in managing manual handling risk, to deepen their understanding of the subject, and train in the use of specific HSE manual handling assessment tools.
We also have a half-day Manual Handling classroom course available as well as an E-Learning option.
