MOVING AND HANDLING (TTT)

TRAINING THE TRAINERS COURSE – 5 DAY COURSE

Please see flyer for more detail –Moving & Handling TTT 2015 – 2016

Aims & Objectives

Upon completion of this course, participants will:

• Work within the laws and regulations of Moving and Handling
• Identify and demonstrate the physical effects of manual handling on the body
• Use principles of safe handling and instruct others to do so.
• Identify and correct unsafe client handling practices
• Use safe hoisting techniques and instruct others to do so
• Carry out and demonstrate to others the need for safety checks on equipment
• Carry out, implement and review M&H risk assessments
• Demonstrate continued competence

Who should attend?

Manual handling training is a line management responsibility.  Manual handling trainers may be line managers themselves or may be those appointed to carry out the risk assessment on their behalf.  Delegates must be familiar with the handling problems faced by those to be trained and be either experienced trainers or able to speak to groups of staff.

Therefore this course is appropriate for senior staff and managers, those who have the ability to implement the training and knowledge gained.

It is considered good practice for delegates to attend Moving and Handling Update every 12 to 18 months.
