Our approach is different...
Alistair Bromhead Ltd always avoids the traditional - herd the participants into a room, show them how to lift a box and get them to sign a form - approach. The course will be run in a participative manner to get involvement and emphasise the personal benefits of taking action. Typical topics include:
- Injuries associated with manual handling
- A simple overview of the anatomy of the lumbar spine - re-emphasises personal implications of good and bad technique
- Team handling
- Good handling technique
- Practical handling exercises with a range of representative loads
All of our handler trainers have successfully completed the City & Guilds Manual Handling Train the Trainer course and they have many years of practical experience as well as a background in training. |
