After a long day of bending down to pick up heavy boxes and stacking loads, it can put a real strain on your body. Manual Handling courses teach your team how to move items correctly in order eliminate the risk of injury and musculoskeletal disorders.
Candidates are taught the correct posture to adopt and the appropriate method of lifting, pushing, pulling, carrying and lowering heavy loads, in the hope that they will never suffer aches and pains again.

- By following the correct procedures, absences will be significantly reduced.
- Your staff will discover more about mechanical aids such as hoists and trolleys that will assist them with their duties.
