## Notice

Manual Handling Training Sandwell Metropolitan Borough "The Council" requires Manual Handling training to be delivered to staff located in various high-risk areas across the council. Most staff will be based in Repairs, Fleet Services, Estate Services, Highways, Grounds Maintenance and Adult Services, therefore, the course needs to fit a wider audience as most sessions will have a mix of delegates from different areas. Approximately 600 employees require half-day Manual Handling training with a maximum of 15 delegates attending each cohort.
