The Manual Handling Refresher course has been developed to ensure workers are equipped with the essential knowledge and skills required to safely handle manual tasks in healthcare and support settings. This training is designed to refresh and update the skills of workers, focusing on reducing the risk of injury to both workers and clients by providing safe techniques for tasks like lifting, rolling, repositioning, and using equipment such as portable hoists and slide sheets. The course also emphasizes safe handling practices to maintain a healthy and efficient workplace environment.
This refresher course is ideal for those working in healthcare, aged care, or similar fields, where manual handling tasks are performed regularly. It is a great opportunity for workers to revisit safe practices, review key safety provisions, and be reminded of the importance of proper communication and teamwork while handling clients.
