What Will I Be Taught

Manual handling is a legal requirement for employers should any employee be required to do any sort of moving whether that be people or loads. We can provide training for either manual handling of loads (boxes, paperwork) or for people (for carers, nurses). The training is delivered at your workplace and is priced for a group session so works out at approximately £80 per delegate.
