Manual Handling Training

Is your workplace characterised by tasks that involve lifting, carrying, pushing, pulling, holding, or moving objects or people? Do these tasks entail repetitive or sustained forces, challenging movements, or awkward postures? If so, these factors could lead to increased body stress and a higher risk of injury for workers. While it's ideal to eliminate or substitute risky tasks with technology or process solutions, this might not always be feasible for many tasks.

However, many manual handling injuries can be prevented through proper planning of task performance and equipping workers with practical skills for safe execution. At MK Health, we offer customised manual handling training tailored to your workplace needs. This training encompasses safe manual handling techniques, recognising and managing manual handling hazards, adhering to procedures for safe work practices, and effectively utilizing manual handling equipment and aids.

Conducted by our experienced medical experts on-site, MK Health's manual handling training ensures that your staff learns how to carry out their daily tasks safely, reducing the physical strain on their bodies and consequently minimising the risk of manual handling injuries. As a business, you will also benefit from professional advice on modifying or eliminating procedures or work methods that could further mitigate the risk of workplace injuries for your staff.
