This workshop will provide the skills, knowledge and confidence to ensure that manual handling tasks are carried out using safe and effective techniques. In a healthcare environment, this includes lifting, moving and transporting patients of all sizes and capabilities.
Tubal aim to reduce the number of manual handling and lifting related injuries in the workplace by providing greater awareness of positive, self-protective behaviours and ensuring greater awareness of workplace risks and hazards.
Our experts ensure that training is relevant to your workplace, so talk to us about how we can ensure your workplace benefits from contexualised training by focusing specifically on the injuries that are relevant to the type of work being conducted.
