Manual Handling Training, Page 36 Reviews

I was under the impression that we know longer say 1,2, 3 when lifting but ready, steady, lift/roll etc.

whilst providing good and useful information I felt the programme could have been much faster and shorter, I found myself turning off mentally, it did not hold my attention as it was laboriously slow.

Dull and boring to the point where I kept falling asleep. No new content. Same message we get every year with no new ideas or perspective.

Thought I wouldnt learn anything I didnt already know but I was wrong. This is a very helfpul WBT, its simple yet effective and the graphics showing the movement of the spine and discs does help a great deal. Will definitely look to use this at our Company inductions.

A good package overall. Well constructed and instructional. Could of done with a little more of the hazard assessment such as what is meant by unstable load. i.e. liquid. Also I felt the exam was a little easy. 5 choices instead of 3 would have been better. I took the exam twice to see how many of the questions were repeated. Unfortunately it was most of them, so a greater selection of questions to select from would be better. Overall though a good well presented instructional.

I felt that this wasted my time as it was not relevant to my post in anyway. It is far too long for a general overview.

Desperately dull. Needs to be shorter and snappier.

The programme makes use of video 'case studies' and a presenter whose main purpose is often not to inform but to persuade the trainee of the importance of the topic. It would be better if this 'filling' could be skipped in favour of the essential information. The programme might be improved by an 'initial assessment' quiz, checking the trainee's prior knowledge, which could allow access to a 'fast-track' version followed by the final quiz for those who already know how to lift things and something about the anatomy of the human back.

DSUK do not provide headphones, so it is not possible to watch the videos. The text content is minimal. The progression from 'page' to 'page' is slow due to the fancy yet pointless animation.
