MANUAL HANDLING TRAINING COURSES

More than a quarter of accidents reported each year to the enforcing authorities are associated with manual
handling. 
 
With litigation and damages becoming common when an injury has been sustained it is important that proper
training is given to operatives to ensure that they are not injured whilst transporting or supporting a load by hand
or bodily force.
