Why is our Manual Handling Train the Trainer so important?

Whatever industry sector you serve or your role, in most circumstances, manual handling is certain to be a part of your day-to-day. If done incorrectly, manual handling can have devastating consequences, with back pain caused by manual handling accidents particularly widespread throughout the UK.

One way to avoid the consequences of unsafe manual handling procedures is to enlist a trainer in-house to provide the guidance and support your employees need to conduct tasks that involve manual handling as safely as possible. That’s where our Manual Handling Train the Trainer course comes in!

Manual handling training in the modern workplace

Manual handling training matters in every workplace. Manual handling can after all be something as basic as moving a box of office supplies or lifting heavier items in an industrial setting.

By law, every workplace in the UK should take reasonable steps to protect the health and wellbeing of their workers, and this includes giving them the skills and support to work safely and reduce the risk of injury. Undertaking manual handling training is therefore an essential piece of the puzzle.
