Using Lifting Aids Training Summary:

The best way of moving a load is to make the move is as easy as possible, and this can be done by the use of a lifting aid. There are many different aids available, and we will go through these individually, but make sure you are allowed in your workplace to use them. Also make sure that it is maintained to the manufacturer's specification. You need to read instructions for use and make sure you are trained in its correct use. Take extreme care on slopes as it will be more difficult to control and stop the load.

This course covers general manual handling recommendations laid down by the HSE Manual Handling Regulations 1992, but you MUST check your workplace protocols and practices. Every business conducts its own risk assessments. If in doubt, ask your manager/employer to find out what the exact rules are in your place of work.
