Manual Handling Training for Logistics

The diverse and varied processes involved in transporting and storing resources are unified by one factor: a high rate of manual handling injury. Indeed,of all occupations, transport and mobile machine drivers and operatives have the third highest rate of musculoskeletal disorders that are caused or made worse by their job. In recognition of this RoSPA has developed a unique course that specifically addresses manual handling issues within logistics. Following fromthe success of our everpopular Manual Handling Trainers and Assessors course, this new course again offers a cost-effective solution that allows you to train a trainer, who can then disseminate the skills around their workplace. Who should attend?
