Why is dealing with manual handling important?
They can occur almost anywhere in the workplace and heavy manual labour, awkward postures, repetitive movements of arms, legs and back or previous/existing injury can increase the risk.
To help prevent manual handling injuries in the workplace, employers must look at the risks of that task and put sensible health and safety measures in place such as manual handling training to prevent and avoid injury.
Our manual handling courses help identify and correct unsafe manual handling conditions, thus preventing workplace injury.
Whatever your industry, we have a physical on-site classroom course, virtual courses and an online course option to help your workforce stay protected.
