To ensure that your organisation meets the requirements of providing a safe physical working environment for all employees Desk Dynamic’s Manual Handling and Ergonomic training packages are customised to industry and client needs.

 

Manual Handling training is an injury prevention approach at the centre of an effective workplace health solution. This encompasses strategies aimed at improving workplace productivity, organizational culture and therefore increasing the company’s profitability.

 

Manual Handling is an often forgotten element within the office environment. There are however, numerous positions and situations where significant amounts of manual handling are undertaken.

 

Manual handling is the major cause of injury in the workplace.  A range of short and long-term injuries can occur from unsafe manual handling.  Most manual handling injuries affect structures of the back, neck and shoulders.  The importance of correct manual handling techniques is generally accepted as an essential element of an injury prevention programme.

 

This comprehensive training programme covers the basics of "how your body works" as well as more general hazard identification and assessment of risk factors for manual handling injury, with a strong focus on their practical application in your workplace.

 

In addition to facilitating the achievement of an injury free workplace, the program outlined in this proposal will contribute to the organisation fulfilling it’s obligations in relation to the National Standard for Manual Handling 1990.
