Protect your body over a whole career: assess and lift loads safely, set up the task and workspace ergonomically to avoid cumulative strain, and select, inspect and wear the right PPE for the hazard in front of you.
The body-protection course every workshop technician should hold, built as one Engage-Share-Practice-Perform flow. It is the fifth and final course in the "Technician Safety / OHS Track" and builds on "Workshop General Safety & Hazard Awareness" by going deep on the single biggest source of lost time in any garage: musculoskeletal injury and PPE failure. Learners feel why a 35kg brake disc and a stooped suspension job wreck careers, learn the TILE assessment, ergonomic setup and the right-PPE-for-the-risk framework, then apply it on real workshop tasks — ordering a two-person engine lift, deciding under consequence on a wheel-and-tyre carry, and defending a PPE refusal in writing — before they prove it in a written rationale, a knowledge gate, a geofenced in-person practical, and a countersigned manual-handling and PPE checklist. Maps to HSE Manual Handling Operations Regulations / L23, ISO 11228, and the PPE at Work Regulations 2022.
Feel why the slow injuries are the ones that end careers — then privately rate how safely you really lift, set up and protect yourself today.
Learn the framework: what the regulations require, the TILE load assessment and the safe-lift technique, the ergonomics of the workshop, and the right-PPE-for-the-hazard logic you'll soon apply.
Apply the whole framework with feedback: read the lift on a real task, order a safe two-person engine lift, decide under consequence on a wheel-and-tyre carry, and defend a PPE refusal in writing.
Prove it: write the awkward-lift decision under pressure, pass the knowledge gate, check in to the geofenced in-person practical, and return the countersigned manual-handling and PPE checklist.
Book a demo and we'll run "Manual Handling, Ergonomics & PPE for Workshop Technicians" end to end on your people — the AI asks, your people think — or point the Forge at your own material instead (a pre-pilot capability preview).
