Work Safer. Reduce Injuries. Protect Your Workforce.
The construction industry is one of the most physically demanding and high-risk sectors to work in. Every day, workers lift, carry, push, and pull heavy loads, often in challenging environments. Without proper technique, these tasks can result in serious injuries such as sprains, strains, musculoskeletal disorders, and even long-term disability. In extreme cases, unsafe manual handling can lead to life-threatening incidents.
Manual Handling Training—Construction Industry—2025 has been designed specifically to address the hazards faced on construction sites. This course equips workers with the knowledge and practical skills to handle loads safely, reduce injury risk, and maintain productivity.
Participants will learn how to assess tasks before starting, use correct body positioning, and incorporate lifting aids and equipment where possible. They will also explore how environmental factors—such as uneven ground, confined spaces, and extreme weather—affect manual handling safety on site.
For employers, investing in manual handling training not only meets Work Health and Safety (WHS) obligations but also reduces lost time injuries, compensation claims, and staff turnover. A well-trained team is safer, stronger, and better able to meet project deadlines without compromising health.
