Manual Handling Refresher for Health Workers
Course Overview
Manual Handling Refresher – Annual Update
The manual handling refresher run by FirstAidPro is designed to serve as an annual update to Manual Handling training. To take part in the course, participants must have previously completed the HLTWHS005 Conduct manual tasks safely qualification.
This course is recommended annually for all staff directly involved in the handling and moving of clients. This includes (but is not limited to) ambulance staff, student nurses (pre-placement), physiotherapists, health and nurse aides, occupational therapists, medical staff, nurses, and people working with the disabled and aged in the community.
Our manual handling refresher course provides healthcare workers with the specialised skills and knowledge to provide direct care to clients in aged care, health, nursing, or home care contexts. The course has a particular focus on the safety of the worker, the well-being of the client, and the benefit to the wider community.
