Manual Handling Training

Manual Handling Training

More than a third of all reportable injuries of over three days involve manual handling incidents and around 10% of major injuries are linked to improper manual handling. It has a major impact on all workplaces, and costs the economy hundreds of millions of pounds every year.

Manual handling training courses provide essential training in safe methods of lifting and carrying for those employees who undertake manual handling activities, thereby reducing the risk of injury and costly absenteeism.

Employers should make sure that their employees understand clearly how manual handling operations have been designed to ensure their safety.

We offer public open manual handling training or for companies onsite manual handling and people handling training for groups these can be tailored to the specific working environments.
