Moving and Handling Train and Trainer Courses
Osteopaths For Industry offer moving and handling train the trainer courses that will bring our expertise into your organisation.
Having your own team of in-house Moving and Handling Instructors is an excellent way of managing the risk of injury posed to staff through Moving and Handling. The flexibility of having an in-house team of Instructors enables organisations to respond quickly and effectively to Moving and Handling issues that become apparent, providing training and risk assessments to minimise any risks.
The training I received has given me both the skills and confidence to carry out training on the use of hoists and slide sheets within our care homes. I found the trainer to be knowledgeable, approachable and thorough – I would recommend the services of Osteopaths For Industry.Our Moving and Handling Instructor Support Services include:
Your Moving and Handling Instructors will have access to our panel of expert trainers, in order to provide them with any help or advice they may require. We ensure that queries are answered within 24 hours.
Our Course Notes provide your newly qualified Moving and Handling Instructors with a resource to reference at any time. These can be tailored to suit your brand or specialist activities and apparatus that you use.
We provide Instructors with a short PowerPoint Presentation that they can then customise to use in their own training sessions. This can be fully tailored to your company brand, and working practices, prior to the course.
