5 Tips to better manual handling training in Cardiff by Blue Square Safety.
Manual Handling is deemed to be key in every business. the last thing any business owner wants or needs is for a staff member or themselves to loose business days due to poor long term manual handling techniques - which is why Manual Handling training is key.
In fact, the UK loses 12 million working days every year through work related back disorder… Most people know relatives, friends and colleagues who suffer from back pain. If you injure you back this could have a dramatic effect on your home and work life. Prevention is Better Than Cure
Blue Square Safety is happy to give you some free advice on how to minimise the risk of injuring your back at work or at home, here are our 5 top manual handling tips:
Test the weight of the object…. If you make a straining sound, it probably is too heavy! Never Use your back to life an object, always life from the legs Try and have you back as straight as possible to minimise the pressure on it Keep your feet shoulder width apart for good balance If the object is to heavy split the load up or get some help
Of course we would recommend that you seek manual handling training for yourself and your staff - and this is not as costly as you think when comparing this to loosing staff through absence.
