Manual Handling Awareness: Protect Your Body—and Theirs

Did you know that manual handling injuries are among the most common and preventable risks in disability support work? This course empowers disability support workers to recognise risks, understand safe movement principles, and clearly identify the boundaries between awareness and competency. You will learn how to keep both yourself and those you support safe by identifying hazards, following safe movement best practices, adopting equipment and no-lift approaches, and knowing when to stop and seek help.
