Kinetic Handling Workshop

Introduction

Many working days are lost each year through back and other injuries caused by poor lifting methods. The Health and Safety at Work Act and the Manual Handling Regulations requires employers to ensure that correct lifting methods are used in the workplace. This practical workshop educates persons who are required to lift or move loads in the course of their work. This is a half day version of our one day manual handling regulations workshop.

Aims

Participants will be able to safely use posture, body movement and correctly use the energy developed in correctly moving to carry out operations within their capabilities during a working day.

The Course Covers

• Kinetic principles of lifting and moving
• Cumulative strain and associated injuries
• The Back - a working appraisal
• Assessment of individual safe limits
• Practical sessions demonstrating to, and coaching participants in the application of Human Kinetics
