Bespoke training courses

Moving and positioning training is crucial to anyone working in a job which requires manual labour. Even if you don’t lift things very often, there are always risks associated with manual tasks. Whether you lift heavy objects or care for the sick or elderly, you need to be adequately trained in moving and positioning to ensure your own safety as well as the wellbeing of those in your vicinity.

Yes. Employers must comply with The Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992, which gives guidance on how to avoid, assess and reduce the risk of your employees injuring themselves while manually moving or lifting heavy objects. I provide care for a family member who I sometimes have to move. Should I receive training?
We’d recommend it. Regulations such as The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 are regularly updated to make sure that health standards are being kept up to date with modern times. If your staff last received their moving & positioning training a while ago, it’s likely that the training will have been updated since then. Even if they aren’t going to learn something new, keeping your staff well trained and refreshing their memories on relevant practice is still a good idea.
Yes, having this training is essential. When caring for the frail, elderly, or sick, it’s crucial to be properly trained to ensure they receive the support they need.
