Who should attend
It is a general requirement that all employees who are required to lift or carry items at work should attend a manual handling course.
Manual handling training is crucial in the workplace, as it helps prevent injuries and promotes a culture of safety. Proper training reduces the risk of musculoskeletal disorders, which are common in manual handling tasks. For instance, learning correct lifting techniques can prevent back injuries, while understanding how to assess and mitigate risks can reduce accidents related to awkward postures or heavy loads. The 3-hour manual handling training course offered by Ardent Safety, Barrow, equips employees with practical skills to handle tasks safely, protecting both their well-being and the company’s productivity. Additionally, on-site training ensures that techniques are tailored to the specific environment and needs of your team.
