Manual Handling Training Workshop
First Move Manual Handling Training Workshop
Equip your workforce with essential skills through our Manual Handling Training workshops.
Reduce physical risks and prevent workplace injuries
from hazardous manual handling tasks.
Manual handling is a leading cause of work-related injuries – many of which are preventable with the right techniques.
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!
First Move have created this training session to be practical and memorable to help –
- 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
- Improve morale
