Summary

Materials Handling Operations are generally responsible for more fatalities, injuries and incidents that any other industrial activity, except perhaps for road traffic accidents. Bad handling can cost millions through damage and waste.

• Practical, hands-on experience in the fundamentals of mechanical handling (MHE) operations as underpinning knowledge for them to manage operations
• Knowledge of both general and specialist aspects of materials and transport operations
• Preparation to undertake a supervisory management role in the safe and effective operation of a storage or transport operation.
