This course combo is relevant to every student no matter their industry.

Noise not only in the workplace, but also recreationally is having a huge impact on our young people today with hearing loss being identified as a large contributor to ACC claims in the future. This is a course that really gets students thinking differently.

Manual handling covers everything from sitting at your desk, considering ergonomics and work station design, through to those who do manual work where, lifting, pushing, pulling twisting, turning and carrying loads over distance poses a major risk to quality of life in the event of a muscoskeletal injury.
