Manual Handling Training

Manual Handling

Compliance through training

Have you considered what would happen if one of your employees injured themselves whilst at work? As their employer you’re likely to come under scrutiny from the HSE; they’ll ask lots of searching questions about their training and your management systems?

In 2008 over a third of all reportable injuries to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) were because of manual handling related problems; but providing the appropriate level of training in house is difficult unless you have your own Health and Safety department.
