Phoenix’s Manual Handling Awareness course helps organisations to protect the welfare of employees who have a responsibility to handle, lift and carry items. According to the HSE, more than 20 percent of all non-fatal workplace injuries in the UK are caused by incorrect handling, lifting and carrying. Most are musculoskeletal injuries, which are the third most common cause of absence from work, exceeded only by stress and colds/flu.
It is in the interest of every employer to make sure that all employees have sufficient manual handling training. It is also their legal duty under the Manual Handling Regulations 1992 (MHOR). This law sets out requirements for handling everything from animals and people to boxes and packages.

As well as offering training, we have the expertise to carry out a manual handling risk assessment for your organisation. Our team can also provide you with forms, examples, and support if you choose to carry out your own risk assessment.
