Which Manufacturing Health & Safety Courses Should You Complete?
Manual Handling Online Training
This is a course ideal for anyone who handles large packages, shipments, equipment, or other materials within a warehouse environment. This course teaches you about The Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992, which helps to minimise the risks associated with heavy lifting. Most importantly, this course teaches you how to use the correct lifting techniques, to help prevent muscle strain and injury.
Slips, Trips, and Falls Online Training
Where there may be loose materials or uneven floors, there will be a risk of slips and trips. Preventing these is especially important in manufacturing, as there is a presence of dangerous machinery and heavy equipment that could cause harm if fallen into. In the Slips, Trips, and Falls course, we cover how to do a risk assessment, and what control and reporting procedures should be followed to prevent falls from happening.
Working at Heights Online Training
Working at heights is a common occurrence within a manufacturing warehouse, which can include the use of ladders, scaffolding, and rise platforms - even if you’re only a few metres from the ground. The course will teach you exactly what precautions need to be taken when working from heights, how to choose the appropriate PPE, as well as how to check the equipment before use for potential bugs and damage.
First Aid at Work Online Training
The manufacturing sector is high risk, and injuries both big and small are likely to happen. By you and your staff taking a first aid course, you’ll ensure your warehouse or factory workers are in the best possible hands to prevent serious injuries. This course will teach you basic first aid skills, CPR, and how to manage a more serious accident, including when to call emergency services. This course is ideal to take if you are an Appointed Person.

Why Is Manufacturing Safety Important?
With all of the risks outlined above present every day within a factory or warehouse, there is an increased risk of injury within your workforce. Safety procedures are one of the best ways to minimise any risks within your workplace, and prevent any accidents from happening - causing injury, which can be severe, or fatal in the worst cases. If you fail to implement the correct health and safety procedures within your warehouse, you risk fines and liability for any accidents that occur. Training courses for the manufacturing industry can be the best way to improve safety awareness within your workplace.
