Description
Join this growing group of companies and ask Compassa for support with your Health & Safety training.
Rather than relying on subjective opinions, delegates will be trained to use the HSE’s specific assessment tools—the MAC (Manual Handling Assessment Charts) and RAPP (Risk Assessment of Pushing and Pulling) tools. The day is structured to get delegates using these templates immediately on realistic scenarios.
NEBOSH Accredited – Industry Recognised
This is not just another awareness course. It is a qualification developed by NEBOSH in direct partnership with the HSE. It combines the regulator’s best practice with NEBOSH’s assessment rigour, providing a credential that carries genuine weight in the industry.
Why Your Team Needs This Qualification
Musculoskeletal disorders account for a massive percentage of lost working days. This course provides a proactive solution by upskilling your workforce to spot the danger before an injury occurs.
Delegates will gain the confidence to look at a task—whether it’s lifting, carrying, pushing, or pulling—and break it down using the TILE (Task, Individual, Load, Environment) filters, applying the correct HSE scoring system to recommend effective changes.
It is particularly valuable for those who need to make the business case for new equipment; having a “Red” or “Purple” risk score from an official HSE tool is a powerful motivator for organizational change.
