Manual Handling Training Chester

Manual handling injuries can occur in any workplace, whether it’s a farm, a building site, a factory, an office, a warehouse, a hospital, a bank, a laboratory, or while making deliveries. Heavy manual labor, awkward postures, manual materials handling, and previous or existing injuries are all risk factors in developing MSDs. Employers have a duty to ensure that their staff are trained and equipped to comply with The Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992.

Call us on 01978 884 775 and speak with one of our training Consultants to discuss your Training requirements.

In addition, prevention is certainly better than cure when it comes to back and limb injuries and that is why more and more companies are making sure their staff are properly trained in correct manual handling techniques.

Did you know? The vast majority of reported manual handling accidents result in over-three-day injury, most commonly a sprain or strain, often of the back. Manual handling injuries can happen anywhere in the workplace – in offices, construction sites, hospitals, farms and in schools.
