Manual Handling COURSES
Ashtree Management Services Ltd provide in house Manual Handling Training
We provide Manual Handling of Loads training suitable for customers in warehousing, schools, hospitality or any sector where inanimate objects need to be lifted, pushed, pulled or moved from A to B by physical means as part of their frequent activities. During the training we would like to hear how you currently move objects so your methods / equipment could be discussed.
We also provide Safe Moving & Handling training. These courses are suitable for organisations where your staff have a need to reposition people within a care setting such as Nursing Homes, Care homes, Hospitals, Hospices etc. These courses can be on a refresher (half day) basis or full day where the delegates are being trained for the 1st time or their certificates are out of date.
The demand for Manual Handling courses within the Southsea area is increasing as organisations are coming to realise that this training is mandatory and failure to comply with the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) could result in a hefty fine to the company or even prison time to the nominated “Responsible” person. The mandatory requirement for employers is to train staff in safe working practices to ensure compliance with all Occupational Health and Safety legislation. This requirement is for all staff where their job involves moving objects as part of their daily routine & needs to be refreshed every 3 years. This could include the obvious warehouse & manufacturing staff but also not so obvious such as office staff carrying reams of paper or moving furniture, school staff in Southsea filing folders or carrying chairs etc.
The same legal implications are applicable to employers & employees in the Care sectors and NHS. Training records are monitored by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and ultimately the HSE if a serious accident/incident were to happen.
