Manual Handling Training
This week the team swapped washrooms for the classroom!
Jon from Livius Training came to teach us all about safe moving and handling, and maintaining a safe working environment. An understanding of this reduces the risk to everyone involved in day-to-day moving and handling of objects, and can be crucial in eliminating injury.
Back and neck injuries comprise the largest group of injuries seen in the workplace-musculoskeletal disorders (HSE Statistics), therefore it’s important to be able to know how to take suitable precautions, not only when handling objects, but also in the office with things like postural issues.
It was very important and invaluable training, which Jon made fun and interactive at the same time! Thank you for teaching us!
