Manual handling is a routine yet critical part of aviation operations, including the movement of baggage, cargo, tools, and equipment in fast-paced and high-pressure environments. Improper handling can lead to serious musculoskeletal injuries, reduced efficiency, and operational delays. This course is designed to help mitigate those risks by promoting safe lifting techniques, injury prevention strategies, and compliance with regulatory health and safety standards.
✅ Understand the risks associated with manual handling in aviation
✅ Apply proper lifting and handling techniques to prevent injury
✅ Comply with safety legislation and organisational procedures
✅ Respond appropriately to manual handling incidents or near-misses
✅ Assist PRM passengers with care and safety awareness
