Manual Handling Awareness Course
Manual handling operations are the cause of
numerous accidents in the workplace and also long
term disorders such as back pain and reduced
mobility leading to high numbers of ‘sick’ days.
Approximately one third of all injuries reported to the
enforcing authorities are due to incorrect manual
handling. Over £100million a year is lost due to
injuries at work associated with incorrect manual
handling. A major contributor factor is the lack of
proper training, supervision, information and
instruction.
