Manual Handling Training

Employees can be at risk of manual handling injuries in almost every workplace.

Risk can come from:

  • repetitive and heavy lifting
  • bending and twisting
  • exerting too much force
  • many other causes

Not all injuries can be prevented, but the likelihood of their occurring can be greatly reduced through training in the correct use of equipment, posture, stance and the application of force.

According to the latest figures* musculoskeletal disorders cost British society £5.7 billion every year. Cut down the cost to your company by taking preventative action today. Call Oxford Ergonomics for full details of our manual handling training and education programmes.
