Moving & Handling of People instructor training
Having your own team of in-house Moving and Handling Instructors is an excellent way of managing the risk of injury posed to staff through Moving and Handling.
The flexibility of having an in-house team of Instructors enables organisations to respond quickly and effectively to Moving and Handling issues that become apparent, providing training and risk assessments to minimise any risks.
