To provide participants with the basic knowledge and skills to apply the provisions of the NSW OHS law regarding manual handling, and to familiarise participants with the manual handling code of Practice.  For employees this includes participation in the process of identifying, assessing and controlling manual handling risks.   Supervisors and line managers should also have the skills and knowledge required to implement a program of identification, assessment and control within the context of an overall manual handling system.

Ask us about the vertebral simulator that we use to demonstrate spine and disc movements. These simulators have been sourced from overseas and are used so that Easy HR course participants are able to visually understand and view the physiology of the spine, as well as common manual handling injuries. The simulators allow course participants to feel and touch a simulation of the vertebra and discs. This facilitates more effective learning and recall.
