Manual Handling Training Melbourne | Job Fit
Around
one third of all workplace injuries in Australia occur during manual
handling activities. Many of these injuries could have been avoided with
good preventative interventions. Job specific training is one of those
interventions. By providing your employees with the knowledge and skills
to identify their potential hazards and know how to take appropriate
measures to reduce the risk, you can prevent injuries and reduce
monetary and productivity losses.
Job Fit’s occupational health
and safety professionals have extensive experience providing workplace
training to educate and motivate people. In the ten years, since our
doors opened, we have helped businesses reduce risk by customising
training programs to suit the needs of each organisation. Our trainers
are always enthusiastic and are knowledgeable in practical injury
prevention techniques.We can provide individual evaluations to assess
your employees on their comprehension and application of the
instructional objectives.
What does the program involve?
Generally,
we customise all our programs to suit the needs of our clients. This
customisation can be in the form of theory based training and/or
hands-on training in the working environment or in a training room. The
fundamentals of our programs include:
How to identify hazardous manual handling
Correct and incorrect methods of lifting and handling material
Identifying movements and forces that must be avoided
Workplace warmup regime
Discussion, demonstration and participation of key workplace specific tasks

Typically
the session duration is 1-2 hours, however we can tailor a program to
suit your needs. Ideally, we limit group sizes to 15 participants
depending on the style and content of the training program. This allows
for adequate group participation and learning. All our training programs
include detailed handouts containing all the content covered in the
program.
We can also provide the training program as a high
quality video package. Click here to find out more about our Customised
Training Videos.
What do you need to provide?
For the
theoretical component of the program, all that we require is a training
room with chairs, a data projector and laptop (we can provide the
projector and laptop if needed). For the practical component of the
program, we require a space larger enough to perform various movements
and exercises. We may also require certain material and training aids
which are relevant to the group in order to practice manual handling
technique.
