Fiona was a fantastic trainer—engaging, knowledgeable, and very effective in getting everyone involved without ever being intimidating. She created a comfortable atmosphere that encouraged participation and interaction, which really helped reinforce the key concepts of the training. Everything was delivered clearly, with practical relevance, and I genuinely felt refreshed and more confident by the end of the day. I hope Fiona will be the trainer again next year—it would be great to see her again. A really well-run and impactful session—thank you! Rose Clarity 2 weeks ago Great service delivery!

The trainer, Paul was calm, amusing when required, thoughtful, honest, knowledgeable, professional and an excellent communicator. I felt that he kept our attention and interest. The demonstrations (hands on!) of how to hoist were really memorable and I left at the end of the day very uplifted and keen to join the profession. I think that the practical demonstrations, small group work and the excellent workbook all combined to make it a memorable and actually an enjoyable day. Thank you. Load more

Why do staff need Manual Handling Training?

Over 1/3 of all work related injuries are from manual handling. Back injuries are the biggest cause of staff absence in the UK and yet most are preventable! Manual handling training is a legal requirement in any situation where your staff are required to do any lifting, lowering, pulling or pushing that carries any level of risk. Most work environments employ people who incorporate the use of manual handling.

So why do staff need classroom training in manual handling. (Why can't i do this online?)

You can carry out manual handling training online. And by the way, it is cheaper. However, there are significant advantages to classroom training. Firstly, manual handling is a practical activity and both good and poor techniques are best demonstrated by a live practical session with delegates being involved. (This cannot be done online). Delegates will get to practice with assessments and demonstrate best posture and stance as well as how to optimise their centre of gravity to best effect.
