Manual
handling is the cause of one in three Australians sustaining a workplace
injury through out all industry groups.
Good posture and lifting techniques can help reduce injuries but research
supports a more overall approach that involves Risk management. Where
hazards are identified and assessed then eliminated or reduced, through
changes to the work environment and/or work practices, is proven to be a
more effective way to prevent manual handling injury.
Hypersafe provides Manual Handling training that is based on statutory
compliance and is tailored to each particular industry environment.
The session provides instruction on safe manual handling techniques and
also teaches participants how to carry out risk assessments to ensure risk
control measures can be implemented, in consultation with their employer,
to prevent injury.
Training is delivered on site by qualified and experienced Certificate IV
facilitators.
All employers have a responsibility to provide a safe working environment
for their employees, and it is each employee’s duty to ensure they work
safely, so together they can prevent manual handling injury.
