Manual Handling Training Courses

Around two fifths of employee injuries (that result in three or more days off work) are caused by handling, lifting or carrying. Employers must ensure that employees receive training in handling, so they can protect themselves from injury. Our manual handling training course provides participants with a greater awareness and understanding of correct handling and body posture techniques. Failing to provide this basic training can result in employees requiring time off work to recover from injury and could lead to prosecution.
