This course is designed for retail workers, supervisors and managers who carry out or oversee manual handling tasks. It covers essential topics such as identifying hazards, assessing risks and using proper techniques to handle manual tasks safely and efficiently.
Manual handling is essential in retail. Workers routinely lift, carry, unload and reposition stock. If not done correctly, these tasks can lead to serious health issues, including musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), back injuries and other long-term health problems.
According to the Health and Safety Executive, 17% of work-related injuries in the UK were caused by improper manual handling. Workers also reported 473,000 cases of musculoskeletal disorders. These issues affect employee well-being and productivity, and lead to higher absenteeism and increased financial costs for businesses.
This Manual Handling in Retail course addresses the health risks of manual handling by teaching staff safe lifting practices. By learning and applying these techniques, retail workers can perform their tasks safely, efficiently and in line with health and safety regulations.
As an employer, you have a legal duty to ensure the safety and well-being of your employees. If workers are expected to perform manual handling, you must assess the risks of the planned activity and implement necessary control measures.
Control measures must always include appropriate instruction and training on hazards and safe lifting techniques.
These duties are outlined in:
Failure to comply may lead to accidents and legal repercussions for your business.
Our manual handling training programme ensures your employees are well-informed about manual handling risks and equipped with safe techniques, helping you meet your legal requirements.
