Get a QuoteThe Importance of Manual Handling Training
Manual handling is one of the leading causes of workplace injuries and accidents. Though it should always be minimised or avoided where possible, the fact remains that manual handling is a key part of many job roles.
Both employees and employers have a responsibility to ensure manual handling tasks are conducted correctly. For employers, carrying out a risk assessment and providing proper training is essential. Good quality manual handling training reduces the risks of workplace injuries.
