Manual Handling Training Course

Musculoskeletal disorders as a result of manual handling injuries are the most common work-related injury in the UK and can have a significant negative impact on an organisation’s output. 

Safety Nation’s manual handling training course teaches employers and employees how to lift, carry, and move objects safely, to minimise injury risks in the workplace.
