Manual Handling Training—Construction Industry—2024

The construction industry is one of the most physically demanding and dangerous fields to work in. Workers face a myriad of hazards on a daily basis. One of the most prevalent dangers in any construction site is manual handling or the act of lifting, carrying, pushing, or pulling heavy objects. Improper manual handling techniques can result in a range of health issues, including sprains and strains, musculoskeletal disorders, and even life-threatening injuries. This is why manual handling training is crucial in the construction industry.

“I spent forty plus years training people how to do Manual Handling in various countries, in many environments, in numerous different places. While in the wilds of Papua New Guinea I helped hundreds of people unloading shipping containers manually then decanting them into boxes suitable for small aircraft transport with efficiency and safety".

Here in Australia I have run courses for both heavy vehicle drivers, warehouse supervisors and bus drivers. The goal being to minimise injury to staff and to also mitigate Workcover claims. These courses include Manual Handling of numerous types of heavy objects including people (though there is a separate course on manual handling people).
