Manual Handling Training Widnes
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! This course is delivered in your workplace anywhere in Widnes and the surrounding areas. Employers must train staff on proper lifting and moving techniques to comply with The Manual Handling Operations 1992.
Training can be important in raising awareness and reducing risk, but it won’t ensure safe manual handling on its own. You should first design the manual handling operations to be as safe as reasonably practicable. You should also monitor and review procedures to make sure workers understand and apply them.
Furthermore, prevention is undoubtedly 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.
