The answer to this question depends where in Australia you are. In some states and territories this qualification does not expire, and in others a manual handling course certificate remains valid for two (2) years. Regardless, most organisations strongly recommend manual handling refresher training be retaken once a year to ensure the knowledge this course provides remains second nature. Skills Training College also offers manual handling refresher training for this very reason.
No. Due to the physical nature of manual handling, this training must be conducted in person. While plenty of theoretical learning is involved, students must also learn about the manual handling equipment, the demonstration and assessment of which must be displayed and can only be done so in-person.
A manual handling certificate is required to ensure that individuals are trained to safely undertake manual handling tasks in the workplace. Employers may require this certification to ensure compliance with health and safety legislation and to mitigate liability in the event of manual handling-related injuries. Without this certification, there will be certain jobs you simply cannot apply for. We also offer a Manual Handling Course for Construction Workers & Tradespeople. Enrol in one of our manual handling training courses today or get in touch to learn more!
The assessment methods for this course are:
Hazardous manual tasks in healthcare are activities that can cause injury if performed incorrectly or repeatedly over time. Some common examples include:
Proper manual handling techniques reduce the risk of injury and improve both worker safety and patient care.
The consequences of performing manual handling tasks incorrectly can be both physical and mental. Some of the most common consequences include:
Physical Ailments: Incorrect manual handling practices can lead to short-term injuries such as cuts, sprains, bruises. They can also cause longer-term problems such as soft tissue injuries, nerve injuries, and long-term musculoskeletal disorders like lower back issues and broken bones.
Mental Health Issues: While not directly caused by manual handling, the risk of injury and accidents can negatively impact employees’ mental health. Long-term conditions may become difficult to manage, affecting mental well-being and potentially leading to stress, depression, or anxiety.
Health workers can minimise the risk of manual handling injuries by following best practices, including:
By implementing these strategies, health workers can protect themselves while ensuring safe and effective patient care.
Manual handling is used in a wide variety of industries. Most notable among these are healthcare and construction, trades & warehousing and logistics.
