Manual Handling Training Reviews

The videos being split into numerous videos is an odd choice to me and made the training janky, a lot of the information given was extremely basic and the general tone as a result was condescending, while there is good useful content it took a while to get to the point, the general presentation of the videos were not engaging and this made it hard to focus on what was being said

I found this course really difficult to follow. There was around 15 minutes of setup detail before any core content was covered and having the videos split into multiple short videos made it fell really disjointed. A shorter, more concise video focussing more on good manual handling practices with the unnecessary primary school grade biology lessons removed would be far more valuable

The practical demonstrations seemed geared towards office staff as opposed to shop floor workers. The heaviest object moved was a mere 16kg. There was no mention of "spreading your base" eg using an arm to support your back while lifting. Training of this nature is much better when tailored to your own specific, I feel it would be more beneficial to train someone in lifting a 6 metre length of profile rather than a small box of a table. Obviously this is difficult in a video and I would suggest classroom sessions as opposed to training videos. Pristine Condition is a company that offers such a service. The Video in itself was too long and the presenters lacked enthusiasm.Oh and its TILE not LITE! Task Individual Load Environment!!!!

Whilst covering some important and interesting points, this course does not really help our engineers in their normal day-to-day work. We are constantly having to lift, twist and slide very heavy loads in awkward positions and heights, and those in charge seem to think that watching a video about an office-worker moving a small, light box with a stapler in it covers it.

Going over same information to many times. Made it boring

We could not operate if we worked like this we would need twice as many staff.

Training started off well speaking about the back and body to give reasons why important but then overly went over the Golden Rules and felt very condescending.

meta analysis and systematic reviews show no evidence based correlation between lifting techniques and incidence of low back pain and lifting technique training not shown to decrease incidence of low back pain
