Over a third of all work related injuries are from manual handling. Back injuries are the biggest cause of staff absence in the UK and yet most are preventable! Manual handling training is a legal requirement in any situation where your staff are required to do any lifting, lowering, pulling or pushing that carries any level risk. Most work environments employ people who incorporate the use of manual handling.
Training staff how to move and handle loads safely, including pushing and pulling large items can significantly reduce the risk of manual handling related injuries and help your employees towards a healthier work life.
