Manual Handling in the Construction Sector
Manual Handling in the Construction Sector
Construction has the highest rate of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). These are mostly back injuries from manual handling.
Every employer must make sure that anyone who is liable to perform manual handling activities during their normal work, or who supervises those employees, gets the correct level of information, instruction and training so that they can work safely and competently without risk to themselves or others.
The course is intended for those working in building management, the construction industry, and those who work with facilities-type contracts or within facilities functions.
During the day, you will develop an awareness of your responsibilities in principle and practice for safe manual handling in the construction sector.
No previous health and safety training is required.
