Josie Rue Gimani 1 week ago I really enjoyed the training as the trainer was friendly. He spoke loudly and clearly for everyone to hear him well. Questions were well answered. He demonstrated very well on all he taught us that needed demonstration. Tea, coffee, hot water, milk and sugar were available for us all and we were allowed to stretch our legs during the course of the training. This was good as everyone was treated with dignity and respect. Akhere Odion 1 week ago Very educative and interesting. I would love to be trained there over and over again. Thanks to our tutor Jack Davis he did a very great job in making sure every one understood what all that was taught . Faith Muve 1 week ago The training was excellent with a lot of interaction, practice and lots of case studies. A lot of lessons were drawn out of the wider group as well as from the smaller group.

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 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.
