About This Course
Kit Overview
This course can be particularly designed for health care workers but is appropriate for any workers required to perform manual handling tasks in the workplace. In every workplace, workers are exposed to day to day activities which involve some kind of manual handling, some more hazardous than others. These tasks are a common cause of injury in the workplace, and as such, understanding how to undertake these tasks safely is imperative. Without manual handling training, employees can make mistakes and even suffer serious injury. This is especially true if an employee is around hazardous substances or activities.
The training in this course allows you to develop the skills, knowledge and confidence required to firstly recognise potentially hazardous manual tasks and the sources of risks and risk factors. Then prepare for and apply controls to complete these tasks using manual handling techniques which support safe work practice.
You will also learn about the function of the body in movement and performing manual tasks, the importance of posture and positioning of the body and how to recognise symptoms of an injury and report it.
The skills in this course are applied in accordance with Commonwealth and State/Territory legislation, Australian/New Zealand standards and Industry Codes of Practice such as the Hazardous Manual Tasks Code of Practice.

Reviews And Testamonials
OMSB has engaged the services of Katie Chapman of Total First Aid Solutions (TFAS) on several occasions since 2022. She also offers customised training and we are looking forward to a workshop with her later this month.
Katie was willing to travel out to our cattle station to conduct a first aid course for more than 20 staff. It was absolutely fantastic and very relevant to our remote situation. Katie adapted her program to suit, whilst providing a professional and comprehensive course. We all thought it was the best first aid course we had attended. Thanks again Katie
Katie has a very calm and compassionate way of teaching, delivering high quality and a fun training room atmosphere. NTC plan to carry on using Total First Aid Solutions as our preferred provider for our First Aid needs.
