Workplace Training

Training sessions in manual handling, rehabilitation, health, wellbeing and/or ergonomic topics can be provided to workplaces. Where relevant, a brief assessment of the workplace is recommended prior to the development of tailored training programs for optimal outcomes. This can include observation of the work tasks being performed, the equipment/machinery and general work practices. Seeing the workplace prior to developing the training program can identify areas for improvement and provide practical recommendations for minimising workplace injuries. It also ensures the trainer can better respond to questions raised by participants during the training delivery.

By seeing the workplace firsthand, Andrea can better understand the unique challenges and requirements of the environment, enabling the development of training programs that directly address these factors. This ensures that the training provided is relevant and relatable to participants, fostering greater engagement and understanding.

The training sessions offered by Andrea are specific and individualised, allowing for adequate group participation and discussion. Whether theoretical or practical, sessions can be arranged of varying lengths to accommodate the specific requirements of the workplace. This flexibility ensures that training programs fit into both budgetary constraints and organizational objectives.

While training alone is not an effective strategy for reducing injuries associated with manual handling, Andrea emphasizes a holistic risk management approach, based on the Code of Practice: Hazardous Manual Tasks. By providing employees with the knowledge and skills to safely undertake work tasks, Andrea's training sessions contribute to a healthier, happier, and more productive workforce overall.

In Hobart and across Tasmania, Andrea's commitment to providing tailored training programs ensures that workplaces receive the support and guidance needed to promote safety, reduce injuries, and enhance productivity. Through a combination of assessment, education, and practical skill development, Andrea empowers employees to create safer work environments and achieve optimal performance.
