Boost Safety and Skills with Our New Poultry Sector Training Courses

We’re excited to launch two new training courses designed to support those working in and visiting poultry farms: 

• Manual Handling (face-to-face or eLearning) 

• Biosecurity & Hygiene for Farm Visitors 

Both courses are tailored to the unique challenges of the poultry sector and provide practical, farm-focused learning to improve safety, compliance, and confidence. 

Meet the Trainer: Amy Davies 

These courses are led by Amy Davies, Livetec’s Biosecurity Advisor, who combines hands-on farm experience with a background in teaching. Amy ensures every session is practical, relevant, and focused on real farm scenarios. 

“I love that our training isn’t just a tick-box exercise, it’s about building confidence, developing skills, and supporting people’s passion for the industry,” says Amy. 

Whether covering manual handling or biosecurity, Amy helps participants gain skills they can apply immediately, keeping people, animals, and businesses safe. 

Manual Handling Training 

Manual handling on a poultry farm goes far beyond lifting boxes. From working with live animals to navigating tight spaces, every task comes with its own challenges. 

Our Manual Handling course is designed to give you the knowledge and skills to work safely and effectively on farm. You’ll learn: 

• Why manual handling matters and how to prevent injuries. 

• Your legal responsibilities as an employer or employee. 

• How to spot and assess risks in farm settings. 

• Safer techniques and practical tips to reduce strain. 

• How to put safety into practice and promote a positive safety culture. 

Delivered in person or online, this training is perfect for both regular visitors and day-to-day farm teams. It supports your continued professional development while helping maintain a safe working environment for everyone - people and animals alike. 

Biosecurity & Hygiene Training for Farm Visitors 

Every farm visitor has a role to play in protecting poultry health and maintaining high hygiene standards. 

This course equips you with the confidence to implement essential biosecurity practices and reduce the risk of spreading disease. You’ll cover: 

• Key poultry diseases, including Avian Influenza, Campylobacter, and Salmonella. 

• Practical biosecurity implementation and why it matters. 

• Tools, PPE, and chemical safety (COSHH). 

• Personal hygiene, waste disposal, and record keeping.

Whether you’re a vet, contractor, auditor, haulier or supplier, this course will help you uphold farm safety and demonstrate your commitment to professional standards.
