Health and Safety for lifting a box?
We get a lot of people that question whether Health and Safety is appropriate for simply lifting a box. Whilst there are a lot of obvious solutions to problems, many of these are not reported to a Health and Safety officer because staff don’t understand the risks. This means that a problem can go unreported. If a problem is reported and nothing is done about it then it makes the employer liable. If an injury is caused as a result of negligence the compensation claims can be very high.
Why is this Manual Handling course free?
That’s simple, we can’t give all our courses away for free, yet we want to help everyone be happy and healthy at work. Understanding the restrictions around manual handling could prevent some serious life-changing accidents. This can have a big impact for both individuals and businesses, studying this course contributes to the health and safety culture. This Manual Handling course is relatively short, we don’t mind absorbing the costs for the benefit it will bring to you and your team.
