Posted By Damien Hi all, I have recently become a manual handling instructor in Ireland. The problem is that the presentation material I was given was not very satisfactory. Especially the slides showing correct lifting techniques. I purchased a couple of presentations on ebay, but again these presentations were not very good. I have done many google searches trying to get appropriate material but to little avail. Can anyone advise. PS If anyone can recommend a good DVD, please do.

Posted By Philip Roberts Damien, I use a DVD called "Childs Play" which shows how children lift before they learnt bad habits. It lasts about 6 minutes and always goes down well at my training courses. The version I use is workshop based but I believe there is a very similar one which is office based. They can be obtained from a company called Safetycare. If you need more information please e-mail, regards Phil

Posted By Michael Carroll Hi mate, i was in a similar situation a few months ago. after trail and error with a few thigs I came up with my own presentation using power point. I went around my work place with a digital camera and took photos of people carrying out manual handelig tasks then down loaded them. you can then import them onto your power point slides. regards
