In care homes and specialist schools there will always be a substantial amount of moving and handling of people. This needs to be carried out in the correct manner to avoid injuries to both carer and the cared for. A properly constructed health and safety manual handling training courses can help to keep both parties involved safe and unharmed.
Musculoskeletal injuries are a regular cause of ill health and staff absenteeism costing organisations dearly. Consultancies are able to offer manual handling training courses to suit the individual needs of organisations including on-site training for your convenience.
These health and safety manual handling training courses can range from an onsite one day course to a fully accredited three day induction. All trainers should, ideally, be accredited by IOSH, Institution of Occupational Safety and Health.
