Being competent in safe Manual Handling is a legal requirement for your workplace, and this course provides everything you need to know – specifically addressing the task of moving and lifting tyres. This Manual Handling course introduces the importance of safe manual handling in the workplace; essentially, this means the task of moving, lifting and transporting potentially heavy objects. It covers safe techniques for moving and lifting (including LITE), as well as looking at the anatomy of your back – helping you understand why it is so important to adopt best practice for lifting heavy or awkwardly shaped objects. An estimated 909,000 working days are lost every year due to poor manual handling techniques. Poor manual handling also contributes to around 24% of injuries reported to RIDDOR.

This course is an extended version of our best-selling Manual Handling Training programme, and is particularly suited to those working around tyres; whether it’s mechanics, tyre manufacturers or fleet managers.
