It is always better to prevent injuries rather than treating them, especially when it comes to back and limb injuries. Consequently, many companies are now focusing on training their staff in proper manual handling techniques.

Every organisation also has a duty to ensure that Mandatory Manual Handling training is carried out on a regular basis. We have delivered Manual handling training directly to many businesses in and around the Liverpool area. Each business has its own unique working environment.

Incorrect manual handling is one of the most common causes of injury at work. It causes work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) which account for over a third of all workplace injuries. Manual handling injuries can happen anywhere people are at work – on farms and building sites, in factories, offices, warehouses, hospitals, banks, laboratories, and while making deliveries.

Heavy manual labour, awkward postures, manual materials handling, and previous or existing injury are all risk factors in developing MSDs.

Manual Handling Training Liverpool – Manual lifting training courses take place on employers premises. This causes less disruption of production. It also gives the most relevant practical demonstration for the trainees. We will be able to practice some of the manual handling techniques within the candidates normal working environment.
