About Manual Handling in Industry

Ensuring that all employees working in industrial sectors are properly trained regarding manual handling and know their responsibilities is a legal requirement.

This course helps industrial workers understand the safety principles and implement them in practice when conducting manual handling work.

Why Is Manual Handling in Industry Important? 

Every year there are thousands of accidents and injuries that are directly correlated to guidelines of manual handling not being followed. These accidents and injuries result in countless pain and suffering, as well as lost time off work and debilitating injuries.

Staff who conduct manual handling must be provided with sufficient training to work safely. They must also be made aware of the hazards involved, what has been done to protect them and their role in protecting themselves.
