Back injuries are becoming increasingly common in industry. Many of these injuries are as a result of repeated incorrect handling techniques and therefore can be easily prevented. Each organisation has a legal responsibility in accordance with the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 1989 to ensure a systematic approach to the assessment of moving and handling and control of risks. The recommendation is that each employee is provided with a moving and handling course and that this is updated on an annual basis.
Courses are customised for the particular workplace involved.
For Nursing Homes:
Our personnel are all
qualified experienced nurses as well as being certified moving and
handling instructors and are familiar with the types of situations
encountered in your organisation.
For Industry:
Our instructors are fully qualified and will tailor
the instruction to the environment. Courses can be run on the
customer's premises or in our training rooms.
