Manual Handling Training

Why do you need it?

Following a European directive the manual handling regulations were amended in 2002 to include training of employees.  Compensation claims are sometimes settled to almost monopoly money proportions! 

What if you don’t do it?

Health & Safety Executive figures released in November 2008 showed that there were 299,000 reportable injuries at work (in the UK). The cost in pounds was not published in the report but it is likely to be astronomical. From 16^th January 2009, the maximum fine for breaches of health and safety law is increased to £20,000 per offence.

What do you need to do?

Get your staff on a training course, which we can do on-site, course format is:
