Phoenix’s Manual Handling Awareness training course helps organisations fulfil this requirement, teaching proper handling technique to employees who have a responsibility to handle, lift and carry items.
Under the Manual Handling Regulations 1992 (MHOR), it is the legal duty of all employees to supply sufficient manual handling training to their employees. The law outlines requirements for handling animals, people, boxes and packages in order to ensure proper technique is performed.
Even without such regulations, employers have an interest in providing manual handling training for staff who have lifting and carrying responsibilities.
According to the HSE, more than 20 percent of all non-fatal workplace injuries in the UK are caused by incorrect handling, lifting and carrying. Most are musculoskeletal injuries, which are the third most common cause of absence from work, exceeded only by stress and colds/flu.
Therefore, by providing sufficient training employers can protect their employees from injury and reduce absence rates.
Phoenix’s Manual Handling Awareness training course helps organisations fulfil this requirement, teaching proper handling technique to employees who have a responsibility to handle, lift and carry items.
