Manual Handling Handlers Course

Course Objectives

If your employees are required to lift and shift things, then this is the perfect course for you. When you choose RTW Training Services Ltd, you will notice the difference.

We will not teach your staff how to pick up a box of photocopy paper, unless that is what they do. No matter if your employees move carpets, furniture, ladders, pipes, or large, small, hot, or cold items, and regardless of the environments they work in, we will provide a course that is tailored uniquely for them.

Put simply, our manual handling operators course will teach your staff exactly what they need to know, delivering the practical experience and knowledge they need to work safely and efficiently.
