(PRLEAP.COM) Training required for all staff whose duties include any lifting

Training is therefore required and employers are being urged to make sure that their staff are armed with the right knowledge in order that their health and welfare are protected. The answer for employers is indeed as simple as that, for if they provide staff with the correct training and equipment, the likelihood of any injuries is reduced, and importantly (for the employers) the risks of an injuries claim are reduced.

Recognising the need for correct training in the area of Manual Handling, The Office Safety Company has produced a video / dvd based training package to meet the needs of businesses today. Consistently one of their three best selling titles, the Manual Handling package has recently been almost completely re-shot and is presented by Kathy Tayler.

This training package covers the correct lifting procedures and clearly outlines how to avoid injuries and increase the safety level within the workplace. The most common causes of manual handling injuries are identified and the solutions shown. This package could really be a godsend for businesses today and certainly fills the gap in this all important area of training.

The content of this manual handing training package deals with real solutions that employees can relate to in their everyday life and information to help reduce the amount of lost time and absenteeism at work and minimise risk of injury claims.

Manual Handling - The Facts is a must for every company, running time 12 minutes. Comes complete with Manual Handling training booklet and assessment forms.
