Manual Handling Training
KSH Safety Services can offer a classroom based bespoke adult training course for your staff who do manual handling of objects excluding humans and animals as part of their job. They are interactive sessions and, following discussion with yourself, can be made bespoke to the manual handling that takes place in your business activities, as identified via risk assessment.
​
The course is generally a few hours, and up to 3 courses can be held in the same day. Ideally it would be held at your site, but for an additional charge to cover room hire, at a venue elsewhere. Course costs depend on location and number of people being trained.
