The new course is for managers, supervisors and those responsible for educating others in the moving and handling of people within the health or social care sector and education sector. It follows a blended learning approach, comprising two interactive distance learning units and then four days at a specially-equipped moving and handling training centre. Also incorporated in this course is a movement tracking device – a motion sensor worn on a belt – which monitors the wearer’s movement and posture and identifies actions such as stooping that are known to be risk factors in back injury. In-company training – at an organisation’s own premises – is also available.

Awards have been presented to 18 voluntary groups that aim to make workplaces in their local areas safer and healthier. The annual Alan Butler Awards recognise the achievements of groups which form the Safety Groups UK movement. Around 70 groups form the nationwide network and they consist of safety and health professionals from businesses and organisations who give up their time free-of-charge to offer practical help and advice to other employers in their area, particularly small firms. Awards were presented by Kerry Ross, chairman of Safety Groups UK, at a luncheon at the House of Lords last month. The winners, who received awards in recognition of work carried out during 2011, were:
