Can any one help to make some planned manual handling training I am due to present fun? What would be ideal would be some kind of practical exercise or demonstration that helped to get the point across and lightened up the course.
I would be interested and most grateful if anyone has any idea or pointers.
Thanks for your help.
Graham

I mostly train men, but women are involved.
I arrive with a box for the lifting exercise, bottled beer (or similar), with few empty bottles that rattle, you gain some attention.
I also have a little man purchased from S P Services 01952 288999 it looks like a man with a big penis, this "penis" bit is at the base / rear and shows how to lift - correctly/incorrecty.
Difficult to explain, but raises eyebrows of all attendees.

Another way would be to get three or four different sized loads and make the smallest the heaviest (eg a box of ball bearings) and ask one of the audience to lift any box up. I found that almost everyone went for the smallest but heaviest box without going through the risk assessment process.
Oh, I know that most boxes should be labelled with their weights but.......!

Thanks very much, should be a great help, I found SP services on line at www.999supplies.com the man with the large wedding tackle looks like a great demo model, and also a nice laminated poster of the spine. Thanks again
