One of the key areas in which we can provide assistance to business is Manual Handling. Offering Manual Handling advice and training to a wide a range of companies, we aim to ensure that those companies comply with the “Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992″. This, in turn, gives staff the knowledge, confidence and skills to keep them safe and injury free in the work place.
