Training >> Manual Handling
The most common forms of work-related sickness are back problems and minor muscular-skeletal aches and pains. Over 1.2 million people are affected every year, causing almost 10 million working days to be lost. Manual Handling Regulations place a duty on every employer to reduce the potential injury from manual handling operations, and by training all staff to lift and carry objects safely, a company can reduce its costs in the long run. All companies should consider manual handling training as part of each new employee's induction.
Rifaa Ltd manual handling courses cover the basic principles so employees can assess their workplace situation and reduce the risks as much as possible.
HSE regulations state that training in manual handling should be part of health and safety training for employees, so that manual handling risks can be reduced.
