Manual Handling Training—Construction Industry—2025
Manual Handling
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 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.

“I spent forty plus years training people how to do Manual Handling in various countries, in many environments, in numerous different places. While in the wilds of Papua New Guinea I helped hundreds of people unloading shipping containers manually then decanting them into boxes suitable for small aircraft transport with efficiency and safety".
Here in Australia I have run courses for both heavy vehicle drivers, warehouse supervisors and bus drivers. The goal being to minimise injury to staff and to also mitigate Workcover claims. These courses include Manual Handling of numerous types of heavy objects including people (though there is a separate course on manual handling people).
