Introduction Training Employer Employee Law Risk assessment Further information Acknowledgments Documents Important Notice

On an annual basis a representative from Deakin University OHS Unit is invited to run a session on manual handling in the Library. The session includes information on how our body works when carrying out manual handling tasks. It is important for you to attend a session when offered.

Your supervisor will give you a handout you can refer to in the future and a questionnaire to be filled out to ascertain if you understand what is required of you in regards to manual handling and the correct way of carrying out tasks.

The desired outcome will be healthy staff, who are physically fit to enjoy work and their private lives without any injuries from manual handling.
