Overview

If you've ever hurt yourself lifting something, then you've, unfortunately, joined a not very exclusive club. Injuries when lifting or moving objects are commonplace in any industry as well as around the home. It's true that some of these injuries aren't especially severe, and, although painful, sprains or strains are the likely outcome of a manual handling injury. But even relatively small injuries can mount up and lead to things that put you out of action for weeks, or worse. The associated costs – physically, mentally, and monetarily – of a manual handling injury to an individual can be awful. Across an industry, it can be devastating. But there's no need to panic and curl up in bubble wrap just yet. With some training, and a little care, you can help to protect yourself and others around you from these injuries. That's where this course comes in.

Doing so will help prevent and reduce the risks of injury and save unnecessary pain and expense.
