Moving and Handling Courses

Back injuries can affect all people, in all job roles and all industry sectors. Many are irreversible and can result in significant periods of absenteeism, costing both employers and employees dear. Contrary to popular belief, most manual handling injuries are accumulative as a result of repetition of movement and bad posture, as opposed to lifting heavy objects. Prevention stems from an understanding of posture, so that principles of correct moving and handling can be applied in all situations.

The following courses are also available:
Safer People Handling Awareness; Safer People Handling in Challenging Situations; Safe Use of Evacuation Chairs; Safer People Handling Bariactrics. Call 0121 248 2043 for details.

“Staff enjoy the courses and leave with improved confidence in their abilities. The end result is competent and assured trainers, ensuring that we can deliver up to date and high standards of care.”
Wendy MacDonald. Back Care Advisor, Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council.
