Warehouse Safety, Manual Handling & PUWER Training

Working within warehousing demands awareness of hazards associated with heavy loads, mechanical gear and frequent movement. This course begins by guiding participants through load-bearing standards, safe stacking procedures and environmental inspections, emphasising how Warehouse Safety reduces accident risk and ensures structural integrity. Instruction includes assessment of storage zones, floor condition checks and appropriate load distribution techniques.

Next, the Manual Handling segment instructs correct posture, lift technique and load assessment before lifting. Attendees practise proper grip, back alignment and team lifting when necessary. This part reinforces understanding of muscular strain prevention and safe transit of goods throughout storage facilities. Equipped with these skills, learners contribute to lowering injury incidence and promoting well-being among colleagues.

The final component covers PUWER Training, ensuring safe operation of processing equipment and forklifts. The curriculum reviews guard fitting, switch checks, maintenance routines and safe control usage. Combining Warehouse Safety fundamentals with Manual Handling guidance and PUWER Training principles yields a robust framework for maintaining compliant, accident-averse environments. Graduates emerge ready to uphold rigorous standards, support safe workflows and foster trust among employers and team members.
