Manual Handling Training Courses Set to Launch in the New Year

Train Aid is set to start the New Year by launching a new innovative course related to handling objects within the workplace.

2012-12-20

SURREY, ENGLAND, December 20, 2012 (Press-News.org) Manual handling injuries are at the forefront of many businesses. Train Aid Ltd is set to address this issue by offering the UK business sector bespoke manual handling training. The company has decided to roll the training out in early 2013 after a short and successful trial period. The issue is a cause for concern for many companies due to the amount of work days that can be lost to injury. This type of training can potentially help protect productivity and the overall health of employees.

The most common cause for people to miss three days or more off work is through a manual handling injury. This has led to over 1 million sufferers, whereby 12 million work days are lost, at an estimated cost of GBP5.7 billion to the economy. These startling statistics leave huge question marks as to whether or not enough preventive action is being taken.

This latest offering looks to provide an assessment of risks, coach staff and ultimately reduce the amount of lost work days. The aim is to protect the health of employees, but at the same time also safeguard employers against medical based claims. Companies can avoid being held to ransom by individuals if they have provided staff with the appropriate level of training.

The company combined the launch of the new manual handling courses with the recruitment of leading Health & Safety expert Joe Peters. Joe was on hand to provide an insight into his experiences in the field:

"I witnessed nearly every type of injury whilst working for 10 years as a removal man. Alongside this I also witnessed a lot of malpractice, which cut short the career of many a good worker. The change for me came when I started delivering this type of training, and the general feedback over the past 5 years has been that it has reduced injuries, and saved my clients thousands of pounds."

Train Aid Ltd deliver both affordable and enjoyable training courses that place a strong emphasis on teaching practical skills that are relevant to real life.
