Four
Hour Course
“The
most recent survey
of work related
illness indicates
that in 2001/2 1.1
million people in
Britain suffered
from musculoskeletal
disorders (MSD).
These account for
around half of all
work related injuries,
with an estimated
12.3 million working
days lost for that
year.”
(Source HSE)
Most of these can
be avoided at modest
cost or just a re-think
of how you operate.
This course has
been designed to
give employees at
all levels the required
skills and knowledge
to identify operations
and work practices
that could lead
to injury, and prevent
it happening.
