Keep your staff safe in the workplace
Manual Handling
Personnel engaged in manual handling must be given training to comply with legislation. Vickie Dunne Training Limited provide solutions for employers who need to comply with regulations by delivering practical courses.
Our courses are designed to provide employees with the necessary skills and knowledge to minimise the risk of injury while conducting everyday tasks. Participants will also be made aware of the consequences of lifting incorrectly.
Training is classroom-based as well as being highly interactive. Participants will be asked to role-play and perform practical exercises to reinforce understanding and learning.
On completion of training, participants will receive a manual handling certificate. Depending on the course you choose, certification will last between two to three years.
