Manual Handling Train the Trainer Courses
Manual handling train the trainer courses for new and established instructors, either at you own site or at one of our public venues.
Our training courses are different – We don’t subscribe to the ‘one size fits all’ school of thought!
When you book a Manual Handling Instructor Training course with OFI, you can be sure that we’ll take the time to get to know your organisation, to understand how you do things, and to create a profile of your employees and the manual handling activities that they conduct. We consider your specific working environment and the manual handling equipment that you have available, as well as reviewing your existing Manual Handling Policy and Risk Assessments. This allows us to develop a bespoke programme to train your Manual Handling Instructors in the most effective way possible.
We’ve been doing this for over 30 years now. Experience has taught us that this method of providing customised Manual Handling Training at your site, combined with the clinical expertise that our expert instructors bring (all of which are qualified physiotherapists or osteopaths too), results in highly relevant training content, making our courses the most effective at reducing injuries.
We don’t just want to train effective manual handling instructors for you, we also want to promote a positive cultural change towards health & safety within your organisation. Our training courses provide you with the knowledge and the tools to facilitate these changes and inspire your employees.
The OFI trainer did an excellent job – I am confident that our new Manual Handling trainers have a solid foundation and skills base in which to conduct future training sessions for our employees.Our in-person Train-the-Trainer and Instructor Refresher Manual Handling Courses…

When we looked for a company who provided a “Train-the-Trainer” course for manual handling we approached Osteopaths for Industry. Their approach was refreshing; they came along and studied what the hazards and risks of our particular industry were, then tailored their programme to fit the delegates in the classroom. Our newly qualified trainers return from these courses confident and equipped to present meaningful training to our employees and to support them in the workplace.Yodel delegatePhone our Customer Support Team on 020 8398 9522 or complete the enquiry form below.
