June 1st 2007 Four titles
Launched at Safety &
Health Expo, 'Watch your
back – Manual handling in
your workplace' – is an
interactive DVD that
provides the trainer with
the flexibility to adapt the
training session to the
needs of the trainee.
Available from Safety
Media, it features a manual
handling task performed in
four different environments:
factory, warehouse, office
and outdoors.
The DVD opens with a
dramatic scene in each
location, which leads to the
main protagonist being
injured. The trainer then
selects which industry to
watch during that training
session.
Topics covered include:
how to prevent an injury;
how to assess the manual
handling task; factors that
affect the task, including
load, environment and
individual capability;
correct positioning;
effective lifting and
lowering; pushing and
pulling. More articles from Safety Media Limited: |
