Manual Handling Course - advice needed

[roaring_stag]

Can someone point me in the right direction for a manual handling course, applicable to deer work, offered in central Scotland.

Is it sufficient to complete an online course for this subject?

Many thanks for help in advance,

T

We got one of those at work. When we explained how we put a stag onto a pony, the guy shook his head, gave us the ticket, and walked away. Seems that it broke quite a lot of the rules.....

No risk assessment and form filling beforehand?

Plenty of risk assessment.
"That looks f***ING heavy."
Be careful.
Forms got a bit damp in the rain and the ink ran.
Does that cover it?

Always use aids where possible (i.e get someone else to do it)

The online 'Manual Handling' courses cost around £15-£35 depending on provider.
They are totally and utterly useless and a waste of your 1/2 hour behind your laptop and a waste of your money.
However, if the Landowner requires it so they can tick another box on the 'Due Diligence' form...so be it. Be pragmatic, and go with the flow!
