Manual Handling (Including Tyres)
This course explains the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 and how the TILE(O) approach helps assess handling risks. It then focuses on tyre and wheel work: heavy and awkward wheel assemblies, rolling, stacking and storage, mechanical aids, team handling and the serious hazards of tyre inflation. It is awareness training and does not replace practical training, competence or your employer's procedures.
