Many workplaces involve manual handling tasks that can significantly increase the risk of injuries. Surprisingly, over 30% of workplace injuries are attributed to manual handling activities, often resulting from inadequate training in safe practices.
Typical activities like lifting, pushing, pulling, and carrying not only put repetitive strain on the body but also introduce risks such as awkward and unbalanced postures, which can lead to strain injuries or even a back injury.
Phoenix’s training offers practical, interactive sessions focusing on manual lifting, employing proper lifting techniques, and using mechanical aids to ensure health and safety in your work environment.
By investing in this training, you not only comply with health and safety regulations but also foster a culture of safety and awareness that can significantly diminish the risks associated with manual handling tasks. Ensure your team can handle every load safely and efficiently, every time.
