Whether you’re a disability support worker or a healthcare professional, it ensures you have the necessary skills to handle tasks safely and according to legal and ethical standards.

Why Manual Handling Matters

Manual handling uses physical force to lift, lower, push, pull, carry, move, hold, or restrain an object, person, or animal. Many of us daily encounter manual handling tasks—lifting a box or typing on a keyboard. For those in healthcare and disability support, manual handling tasks are an integral part of the job. These tasks can lead to injury and discomfort when done incorrectly, so adopting the proper techniques is essential.

What is manual handling and the legal and ethical considerations

Basic principles of safe manual handling

Common mistakes and how to avoid them

How to report manual handling risks

You will also better understand how to create a safer workplace by recognising potential risks and reporting them promptly.

Who Should Take This Course?

This course is designed for individuals in disability support and healthcare services, including employees, contractors, and volunteers. This training is essential if your role involves tasks requiring physical effort!

Course Details

The course lasts approximately 15 minutes and is entirely online, designed to be easy to navigate. It can be delivered through the Sentrient online workplace compliance system or integrated into your existing Learning Management System (LMS). The learner experience is enriched with case studies and interactive learning activities, which help reinforce safe manual handling techniques.

At the end of the course, there is a short online assessment followed by a declaration to support inclusive and respectful workplaces.

🚧 Prevent Injuries with Safe Manual Handling! 💪

Manual handling injuries can be prevented with the right techniques. Always assess the load before lifting – is it too heavy or awkward? Use your legs, not your back, to lift, keeping the load close to your body. Avoid twisting while carrying heavy items. If the task is too challenging, use mechanical aids or ask for help.

Safety starts with awareness and proper technique. Protect yourself and your team by making safe manual handling a priority! ➡️ Learn more about preventing injuries and staying safe at [https://safetylearning.com.au/].

Why Is Manual Handling Training Important?

Does your workplace involve employees lifting, moving, or using force to carry heavy loads? If yes, the next question is are you educating your employees on how to accomplish these manual handling jobs efficiently and safely? If the answer is no, this blog will help you understand why Manual Handling training is important.

Let’s begin with understanding what manual handling training is.

What is manual handling training?

Manual handling training is aimed at educating any employees engaged in any form of manual handling at their workplace, how to perform their tasks without risk to the health and safety of themselves or others at work. It also instructs them what to do in case of any workplace incidents.

Management can also gain from manual handling training as it advises them how to monitor the risks and hazards involved in manual handling, what should be put in place to ensure the health and safety of their employees, and the actions to be taken in case of incidents.

Why is manual handling training important?

Any job performed without relevant and efficient training can include risks. When dealing with manual handling at the workplace, it becomes even more important to provide employees with proper guidance on how to stay safe and do their job right efficiently.

1. Prioritise health and safety

Providing manual handling training helps businesses prioritise the health and safety of their employees. By doing so, employers can enhance their image of being a responsible employer and make their employees feel valued. Employees who feel valued and educated around safe work practices will likely perform better and continue to work at the organisation for longer periods.

2. Know the standards

Manual handling training plays an important role in educating all employees about the industry standards, their roles and responsibilities, and the right way to perform a task. Management can look after their employees and ensure the proper functioning of the machines or technology involved. Following defined standards, such as HIRAC, can help reduce many manual handling risks.

3. Maintain competitive edge

When employees follow manual handling training, they work safely and avoid common hazards and the risk of business disruption due to manpower shortage or work shutdowns can be reduced. Keeping your employees safe and avoiding incidents can lead to maintaining a competitive advantage over rivals.

4. Knowledge about new technology

When introducing any new technology (equipment or software) to aid employees in their manual handling activities, training should be provided. This helps ensure the new technology is used efficiently and safely and assists employees with their tasks.

5. Follow compliance

All regulations encourage employers to take proactive steps to ensure the health and safety of their employees at the workplace. By providing manual handling training, an organisation does not only work towards keeping its employees healthy and safe but also fulfils its manual handling compliance requirements. This can reduce non-compliance risks and costs.

What is the best way to implement manual handling awareness training at work?

Traditional manual handling training involved organising huge training events and gathering all employees in one place. Whilst this is a successful method for manual handling training the drawback is not all employees may be included due to leave or time restrictions.

To address this issue, companies can now provide their employees with online manual handling training. This has become an even more popular form of imparting education after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. An organisation can easily contact the right online course provider and select the best suitable training plan option for them based on their requirements.

With online manual handling training, employees can easily access the training material as and when required. Advanced technology and the freedom to go through the online training at their own pace can enhance the quality of the learning. We, at Sentrient, design and develop our online manual handling training courses keeping in mind the requirements of businesses and effective regulations for compliance.

Conclusion

Operating a business and including proper manual handling training for your employees is essential. Implementing manual handling training can ensure the health and safety of your employees as well as fulfil your business compliance requirements. To avoid facing any risks, contact us today and make the most of the online manual handling training course developed by Sentrient.

🚧 Preventing Injuries: Essential Techniques for Safe Manual Handling 🚧

Manual handling is a critical part of many jobs, but doing it unsafely can lead to serious injuries. Protect yourself and your team by following these essential tips:

Plan Ahead: Assess the load, path, and destination before you lift. Use Your Legs, Not Your Back: Bend your knees and keep your back straight to prevent strain. Keep It Close: Hold items close to your body to maintain control and reduce strain on your back. Ask for Help: If an item is too heavy or awkward, get assistance or use lifting equipment. By practicing these simple techniques, you can minimse injury risks, boost productivity, and keep your work environment safe. Remember, a few seconds of planning can prevent months of recovery! 💪✨
