When such an extensive amount of physical labour is carried out a person is more prone to get hurt. Thus, manual handling training is essential to make sure that your employees are provided with the right kind of knowledge and training for jobs where manual labour is required. Such training ensures that the worker learns to avoid any injury during the process of work.
