Moving and Handling Training in Cambridgeshire
The Real Cost of Bad Lifting
HSE warns that bad lifting can lead to strains, sprains and other muscle or joint injuries. These injuries can keep staff off work and affect your daily work.
Our moving and handling Cambridgeshire course teaches staff how to lift and move objects safely. The one-day Level 2 Award covers risk checks, the law and safe lifting methods. Staff also get practical training.
Our safe moving and handling training helps cut injury risk and lost work time. Train your team before an injury happens.
What We Teach You in Our Course
Our moving and handling course Cambridgeshire gives staff clear, practical skills for safe lifting and moving. You will learn how to check the load, plan the route and spot risks before you start. We teach safe lifting methods, good posture and ways to protect your back.
You will also learn when and how to use aids such as trolleys, hoists and other equipment. Where a load needs more than one person, we show you how to work as a team and lift in sync.
The course also covers the law and the duties of both staff and employers. By the end, you can use these skills at work with more care and control.
