Benefits Of Deploying Manual Handling Training
The benefits of deploying manual handling training organisation-wide, rather than running it ad hoc, come from two things that have nothing to do with the content.
Coverage. Ad hoc delivery always leaves the same people out. Casuals who started between sessions, contractors, night shift, and sites that are hard to get a trainer to. Those groups usually carry the highest exposure.
Consistency. When training is delivered by different people at different sites, the message drifts. One site is taught technique, another risk recognition, and a third gets whatever the supervisor remembers.
A deployed programme also gives you something ad hoc delivery never does, which is a single record showing who was trained, on which version of the content, and when. That is the part you will be asked for.
Safe Work Australia covers the training duty. This is general information rather than legal advice, and obligations vary by state and territory.
