Overview
Almost all jobs include work that involves performing some form of manual handling.
Hazard identification, risk assessment and risk control should be applied to hazards from performing manual tasks including manual handing.
Employers are required to provide information, instruction, training and supervision to their employees so that they are not exposed to manual task hazards.
This course provides practical guidance for managing risks associated with those manual tasks that have the potential to cause or contribute to injury or illness.
This course is based on the Code of Practice for Manual Tasks issued by the Commission for Occupational Safety and Health.
