Creating a safer working environment: Highlighting the importance of providing professional manual handling training to your staff members
Are you aware that manual handling injuries are one of the most common types of workplace injuries in Ireland? These types of injuries can have long-lasting and serious consequences for employees, and also for your business. That’s why it’s essential for employers to provide manual handling training to their staff.
At Salutem Advisory & Training, we understand the importance of proper manual handling techniques. Our team of experienced trainers is dedicated to providing the highest quality training to help businesses in Ireland reduce the risk of manual handling injuries in the workplace. Manual handling training is not only a legal requirement under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (General Application) Regulations 2007, but it can also benefit your business in several ways. Firstly, it can help to reduce the number of injuries and incidents in the workplace, leading to a safer and healthier working environment for your employees.
Secondly, providing manual handling training can help to improve productivity in your workplace. When your employees are correctly trained, they can work more efficiently and with less risk of injury, resulting in less time off work due to injury and more time spent being productive.
Furthermore, providing manual handling training can demonstrate to your employees that you care about their health and safety, which can have a positive impact on employee morale and retention rates. By investing in your employees’ wellbeing, you are investing in the long-term success of your business.
