Manual Handling Training Prescot
More than 25% of all accidents reported to the HSE each year are associated with manual handling resulting in hours of downtime for many companies!
Employers must ensure proper training for staff who lift or move loads, as per The Manual Handling Operations 1992. Failure to comply with this regulation will result in severe consequences.
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.

Why is dealing with manual handling important?
Manual handling injuries can have serious implications for the employer and the person who has been injured. They can occur almost anywhere in the workplace and heavy manual labour, awkward postures, repetitive movements of arms, legs and back or previous/existing injury can increase the risk.
We have delivered Manual handling training directly to many businesses in and around the Prescot area and understand each business has its own unique working environment. We have a good understanding of this and hence, we design each manual handling course specific and bespoke to your working environment.
