Qualification
FAA Level 2 Award in Manual Handling – Principles and Practice (Level 5 Award in Scotland)
This course provides an ideal approach to safer and more effective manual handling, not only meeting HSE recommendations, but also promoting good and safe practices in any situation.
We are all exposed at times to some form of manual handling such as lifting, carrying, pulling, and pushing actions that can be compounded by simultaneous movements such as climbing or pivoting. Personal injuries resulting from incorrect manual handling in the workplace accounts for over one million working days lost per year, as well as the pain and suffering experienced by the casualties. Correct manual handling techniques can make a huge difference.
