Identification & Prevention of MSDs
This course covers all types of musculoskeletal disorders, including
those of the back, and upper and lower limbs. It is tailored
specifically to include issues within your workplace. It can be aimed
at managers, engineers or workers and is designed to allow these
various groups to identify issues and take relevant steps to prevent
disorders occurring.
Upper Limb Disorders - Awareness
This course provides an awareness to workers of the potential risks at
work that may contribute to the development of upper limb
disorders.
Workers will learn:
- What their responsibilities are
under the Management Regulations
- How to recognise potential risk
factors
- How to set their workplace up to
maximise comfort and reduce any exposure to risk
- How to adopt good work practices
Upper Limb Disorder (ULD) Assessor Training
The Management of Health &
Safety at Work Regulations require that employers make assessments of their work activities where there is a risk of injury.
This course can be completed in one
day and would be ideal for those requiring refresher training.
However, for those new to ULD risk assessment, two days allows for a more thorough explanation of the
issues, and more practice at carrying out assessments. On the two day
course, attendees will also take a written and practical test leading
to certification of competency.
Attendees will learn the same as for the
Awareness course above, and in addition:
- About relevant health & safety
legislation
- How to collect information and
assess risks arising from work
- How to draw valid and reliable
conclusions
- How to reduce risk by implementing
relevant control measures
- How to complete assessment forms
- How to manage the assessment
process
Train the Trainer
Attendees will learn the same as for
the ULD Assessor Training course above, and in addition:
- How to develop effective
presentation skills
- How to deal with people
- How to put an effective course
together and which formats to use
This course can be completed in two
days, although three days allows for a more thorough explanation of
the issues, and more practical exercises.
All attendees will be asked to put
together a short presentation demonstrating their knowledge of ULD issues and
presentation skills.
On the three day course, further
practice assessments will be carried out and attendees will be asked to take a short written
test. Upon successful completion of the practical elements and the
written test, a
competence certificate will be issued.
Further information
All courses will feature elements to
demonstrate how to put theory into practice.
All course attendees will be
presented with relevant printed material.
