Almost every worker is at risk of some kind of manual handling injury. This course demonstrates how this can happen and explains risk reduction strategies. It comes with a downloadable workbook for your team to evaluate your work processes and make positive changes to further reduce the risks. Sometimes called 'how to lift' training, this course goes one step further than other courses that only focus on lifting techniques.
