Do you need Manual Handling Training?

Back injuries can affect all people, in all job roles and all industry sectors. Many are irreversible and can result in significant periods of absenteeism, costing both employers and employees dear. Contrary to popular belief, most manual handling injuries are accumulative as a result of repetition of movement and bad posture, as opposed to lifting heavy objects. Prevention stems from an understanding of posture, so that principles of correct moving and handling can be applied in all situations.
 
Training available for all manual handling and people handling skills.
 
Call Louise Hallett on 07837 380889 or e-mail for more information.
 
Competitive rates, high standards, reliable and references available upon request.
