Repetitive handling at a workstation

Nothing at a workstation is heavy. That is exactly why it takes years to show up.

Manual handling 5–10 min per run

Nothing here is heavy, and that is the problem.

A workstation is set up once and then used ten thousand times. A reach that is five centimetres too far costs nothing on the first day and everything by the end of the year. Nobody feels the day it started.

This is the shortest of the handling trainings and the one that fits into a shift change. It is for line and assembly staff, and for the people who set their stations up.

What a team does in it

One run, three parts. A team can go back to any of them as often as it needs, and most do.

  1. 1

    Work the station as it is

    A team runs the normal cycle and feels where the reach, the twist and the hold actually sit.

  2. 2

    Change one thing

    They move the bin, the height or the sequence, and run the same cycle again to see what it did.

  3. 3

    Say what to change for good

    They put into words what the station needs, in the form the person who can change it will act on.

What is included

Manual handling

Repetitive handling at a workstation

5–10 min per run

Included with every module

  • The training itself, repeated as often as you need.
  • Equipment supplied, maintained and replaced.
  • Attendance is recorded and exports into the records you already keep.
  • We run the first sessions with your team, then hand over.

Put it on your shortlist and we go through it together, with nothing to decide yet.

Next to it in the same cluster

Teams that meet this hazard usually meet the others on the same shift. The cluster page Manual handling holds all of them together.

Take one station and run its cycle.

Bring a workstation your people are on all day. We go through the training against it, start to finish.

What happens in the demo

  1. You pick the hazard From your own risk assessment, not from a demo script.
  2. We go through the training Start to finish, the same version your people would get.
  3. We look at your site Who would run it, on which shifts, and what a first group needs.
