MANUAL HANDLING - TRAINING

'Training' in Manual Handling can take many forms. OHS & Injury Management see there are broadly 2 main categories of Manual Handling Training:

• Education to understand the causes of manual handling injury and how to best control the risk of injury, in accordance with the NSW Manual Handling Code of Practice, through effective risk management practices
• 'Task training'- specific technique training for work groups to improve work techniques eg: how to safely shovel or handle furniture
