Manual Handling Training, Page 2451 Reviews

I believe two of the questions were misleading. The first one was with regard to lowering a box into position. The answer was to adjust position later,but this can only happen when you lower it straight down which was the first answer..I think the question needs to be clarified. The second was with regard to the height at which you should push or pull a trolley. The answer was between waist and shoulder .In the video it clearly shows the lady pushing and pulling at waist height only. If a person pushes a trolley at shoulder height, the law of gravity will have it that you will push over the trolley. If you pull it at shoulder height you will not be able to maintain your balance. In some cases if you were to do the same at chest height the results could be the same. In my opinion I believe the answer should be waist height as again was portrayed in the video.

A usefull,easy to follow course which can be completed at work without the need to travel anywhere or sit a classroom. Most of it is common sense but it always good to be reminded about certain things.

Would have preferred listening rather than subtitles but thats my system not the programme.

Though at first I was sceptical with regards to a 'theoretical' manual handling training programme, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was very helpful indeed. The video examples make the lifting techniques clear and simple and leave no room for misunderstanding. A very good programme, that should be completed by everyone, not just manual workers.

Good explanations and examples used

Easy to follow, clear, concise instructions and information professionally put across. Very informative.

Good quality, perhaps slightly overdid it with length of certain videos. For instance the woman moving a computer a couple of desks was a reccuring theme that really wasn't neccessary. The talk from people affected by back trouble was also long, for the most part people are aware of the severity of back trouble, full stories of peoples trouble are not required for training purposes

Everything was explained well enough about lifting & how the back operates. Had to put ear phones in halfway through as abit distracted by things going on roundabout me.

I liked the graphics used for the anatomy and description of disc etc. The programme itself was a little long but covered everything needed.

i found this dvd informative & easy to follow excellent.
