Learn the Best Practices of Manual Handling with Safety First Aid Training
For some staff, moving loads may be a key part of their job, while for others they can find themselves occasionally having to pick up and manoeuvre heavy loads. That’s why manual handling training is so important in ensuring that the correct techniques are being used and that employees are aware of the most serious dangers.
After all, it only takes one use of a poor technique to result in a long-term injury which could keep employees out of work for weeks or months whilst making the employer potentially liable for damages. As a result, many employers recognise the need to train their staff about correct manual handling techniques.
