A three-day, in-company course that trains your own people to instruct and assess manual handling, also known as manual handling train the trainer, with a one-day refresher to keep them on the register.
The three-day course trains a new manual handling instructor and assessor and adds them to the KeyOstas register for three years. The one-day refresher keeps an existing instructor on the register.
Manual handling instructor and assessor training, sometimes called manual handling train the trainer, prepares your own people to instruct and assess manual handling in-house. KeyOstas delivers a three-day course for new instructors and a one-day refresher to keep them certified, both in-company.
It is for the people who will instruct and assess manual handling within your organisation.
By the end of the course, every delegate will be able to do the following.
Describe the main manual handling injuries and how they occur.
Outline the legal requirements relating to manual handling.
Make assessments of manual handling operations, using tools such as LITE and the MAC.
Identify effective avoidance and reduction measures.
Demonstrate and use a sound base movement.
Identify training needs and design training to meet them.
Deliver training, using effective presentation skills and evaluation methods.
Instruct others effectively in manual handling assessment and lifting technique.

A KeyOstas tutor delivers the course at your premises: three days for new instructors, or one day to refresh.

Delegates receive a KeyOstas certificate of attendance and, on passing, join the KeyOstas register for three years.
