Complying with the Health and Safety at Work Act, businesses have a legal duty to mitigate injury risks for their employees. Prioritising your employees’ well-being safeguards them from immediate and long-term harm, while also safeguarding your business from additional expenses resulting from lost work time.
Without a proven method to address manual handling injuries, the consequence will be ongoing injuries, measurable costs, loss of productivity and an impact on the well-being of your employees’ lives.
Why First Move?
History shows that most manual handling training doesn’t work because the majority of programmes aren’t focused on changing people’s habits.
