Course description

The training focuses on the practical assessment of participants’ skills.

Outcomes upon completion

The participant is able to correctly assess risks before handling a load and applies safe working techniques (lifting, pushing, pulling). They are also able to identify ergonomic hazards at their workstation and propose solutions to minimise physical strain.

Certificate validity

The certificate is valid for 24 months (2 years). To maintain the validity of the qualification, a refresher course must be completed within the last 2 months prior to the expiry date of the current certificate.

Information about the completed training will be recorded in the international GWO WINDA database. The digital record allows authorised employers to instantly verify your qualifications.  For the participant, this means easy confirmation of competence worldwide without the need for paper documents.
