If you are completing a CPR or First Aid certificate from 1 January 2015 onwards, you must have your Unique Student Identification (USI) validated. If you do not have a USI, please visit www.usi.gov.au, navigate to "Create your USI," and follow the instructions. The process takes approximately 10 minutes.

Course Description

This course is certified by Australia Wide First Aid, an industry-recognised body. Please note that it does not result in a nationally recognised qualification under the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF).

This course is designed to help you manage and mitigate workplace risks and hazards associated with manual handling. Every workplace involves some form of manual tasks, even activities as simple as typing on a keyboard. Although these tasks come with inherent risks, they can be identified and controlled to ensure the highest level of safety for all workers. Specifically created for Australian workplaces, this course provides an overview of the legal responsibilities and duties of all workforce members. It is relevant for both employers and employees.

We have several modes:

STANDARD COURSE
The Standard face-to-face course spans a longer duration and emphasizes comprehensive training in both skills and knowledge. It includes practical assessments, thoroughly preparing students for these evaluations on the assessment day. This course is particularly beneficial for students who need to practice their skills before participating in the practical assessments. Since First Aid training is refreshed every three years, unless students regularly engage in hands-on workplace training, we recommend opting for the standard course.

EXPRESS COURSE
The Express face-to-face course, on the other hand, is shorter in duration and focuses exclusively on practical assessments. This session does not include preparation for the assessments, as students are expected to arrive with a certain level of practical experience. Ideal for those who have previously completed a first aid course and regularly participated in hands-on workplace training, the Express course is tailored for experienced students. Any additional training needed to complete the practical assessments on the day may incur an extra fee or lead to a recommendation to attend a standard course.

The following topics are covered in this online course:

Conduct Manual Tasks Safely
The Musculoskeletal System
Musculoskeletal Disorders
Risk Factors of Hazardous Manual Tasks
Health and Safety Duties in Relation to Hazardous Manual Tasks

Reporting Mechanisms for Workplace Injury and Compensation Claims
