First Move Training
Prevent Sprains and Strains from Manual Handling

Learn How to Reduce Muscular Injuries Caused by
Incorrect Manual Handling Technique

Incorrect manual handling technique is a leading cause of work-related injuries

– many preventable with the right knowledge
 
First Move training equips individuals with the knowledge to
  • Reduce physical risks from hazardous manual handling tasks and prevent workplace injuries 
  • Move, think and look after their physical well-being
  • Create habitual movement and prevent injury
 

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. First Move training is an effective way of addressing strain-related injuries in your workplace. This training session is a solution for you that is going to work!

  • Improve physical wellbeing at both at home and work
  • Reduce organisations injury and injury related costs
  • Have fewer absences from work and less disruption
  • Retain skilled employees for longer
