Our manual handling training is designed to educate your employees on good lifting techniques with emphasis on integrating these into everyday working practices to minimise risk of injury within the workplace. Training can be delivered via our network of instructors around the UK or from our dedicated training premises in the midlands.  You can qualify to become a trainer for Manual Handling Awareness and deliver these courses to your own staff which can drastically reduce costs and provide a convenient way to ensure your organisation is meeting its compulsory training requirements.  For more information on this option please navigate to our instructor training courses page.
