Units Deliverd HLTWHS005

In every workplace, workers are exposed to activities which involve some form of manual handling, some more hazardous than others.

These tasks are a common cause of injury in the workplace, and as such, understanding how to undertake these tasks safely is imperative.

Without manual handling training, employees can make mistakes and even suffer serious injury. This is especially true if an employee is around hazardous substances, performs repetitive tasks or activities.

The training in this course allows you to develop the skills, knowledge and confidence required to firstly recognise potentially hazardous manual tasks and the sources of risks and risk factors.

Then prepare for and apply controls to complete these tasks using manual handling techniques which support safe work practice.

You will also learn about the function of the body in movement and performing manual tasks, the importance of posture and positioning of the body and how to recognise symptoms of an injury and report it.

The skills in this course are applied in accordance with Commonwealth and State/Territory legislation, Australian/New Zealand standards and industry codes of practice such as the Hazardous manual tasks code of practice.

This course can be delivered in your workplace or Prudent Training Services training facility.

Participants must have the physical capacity to use appropriate equipment, posture and handling techniques to conduct a manual move and/or lift.
