Ensure your team keep themselves safe when moving and handling!
The majority of accidents resulting from moving and handling issues can be avoided with the proper training and knowledge.
The Highfield Level 2 Award in Safe Moving and Handling (RQF) has been designed for learners starting or returning to work, who need specific training around moving and handling, or for refresher training.
It aims to ensure learners understand that moving and handling must be carried out the right way and that they recognize its importance in contributing to a safe working environment.
Topics include:
Understanding the reasons for safe manual handling
Understanding how manual handling risk assessments contribute to improving health and safety
Understanding the principles, types of equipment, and testing requirements associated with manual handling safety
