“More than a third of all over-3-day injuries reported each year to HSE and local authorities are caused by manual handling” (Source HSE).
The cost to both worker and employer from such accidents can be significant, manual handling injuries often result in long-term absence from work and even compensation claims. The occurrence of such incidents can be drastically reduced with proper workforce training and the use of risk assessments.
Whether you are an employee or self-employed and work in a controlled environment, our course is for you. It is especially important if you are carrying out repetitive tasks that involve manual handling.
Our Manual Handling training courses are accredited by Lantra Awards and NPORS.
