Program Overview: What is Manual Handling and Safe Lifting?
Understand your training needs around manual handling. This program gives your team practical safety capability: lifting with safe technique, using handling aids correctly, and spotting risky tasks early. It focuses on the handling your people do every day.
Enhance your team's Capability and Performance through interactive practice. Your team will work through kinetic lifting, ergonomic workstation setup, and TILE risk assessments, practicing real tasks in instructor-led sessions. Every technique is coached live, and the program closes with a personal safe handling plan.
Upskill and reskill warehouse, healthcare, and manual workers with one consistent handling standard. The program develops the Mindset and Culture habits that prevent injuries: thinking before lifting, asking for help, and looking out for colleagues.
Improve Collaboration and teamwork between workers and supervisors. The program ends with a capstone where each participant demonstrates safe technique and presents a handling plan for their work area.

Key Skills and Outcomes Your Team Will Gain
Your team builds job-ready handling skills across five modules. Practice sessions and the safe handling plan test every skill, so teams return able to lift, assess, and prevent.
Lift with safe technique
Use the kinetic method: posture, grip, and movement that protect your back.
Assess handling risks
Apply the TILE framework to spot risky tasks before someone gets hurt.
Use handling aids well
Choose and use trolleys, hoists, and conveyors instead of muscle.
Set up ergonomically
Arrange workstations and tasks to reduce strain across the shift.
Handle team lifts safely
Coordinate multi-person lifts with clear communication and timing.
Spot and report risks
Recognize high-risk handling and raise it before it causes injury.
Coach safe handling
Remind colleagues kindly and model the technique every shift.
Teams that Benefit from this Manual Handling and Safe Lifting Group Training

Where this Training Fits in Your Team's learning path.
Manual handling and safe lifting come second, after safety essentials. Your team learns general hazard control first, then applies it to lifting and carrying. The path then widens into workplace ergonomics and ends with forklift and handling equipment when loads are too heavy for people.

Practice Safer Manual Handling Through Task Assessment and Coached Technique
Edstellar connects manual-handling awareness with the tasks participants encounter at work. Guided practice combines kinetic lifting, workstation assessment, and handling-aid choices with TILE risk analysis. The final demonstration and personal handling plan are reviewed for technique, task-specific hazards, appropriate assistance, and the clarity of actions for reporting and addressing risks.
- Step 01
Consult
We explore handling tasks, workplace layouts, and participants' experience with aids and risk reporting to identify the situations that need assessment and supervised practice.
- Step 02
Plan
We map handling tasks before coached lifting and ergonomic review, then connect equipment choices and TILE assessment in the participant's safe-handling plan.
- Step 03
Align
We align manual-handling instruction with warehouse, healthcare, manual-work, and supervisory roles, confirming appropriate practice tasks and support so demonstrations reflect participants' needs and workplace conditions.
- Step 04
Customize
We adapt sample workstation and load scenarios to familiar tasks, retaining environmental and team-handling factors that participants must consider before choosing a handling approach.
- Step 05
Execute
Participants practice kinetic lifting, assess workstations, and complete TILE reviews under coaching, receiving feedback on technique, aid selection, team coordination, and recognition of unsafe conditions.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We assess the demonstration and handling plan for task-aware technique, reasoned use of aids or assistance, identified risks, and clear reporting and improvement actions.
