A dignified approach to moving and handling people: as a pathway to empowerment

This online Moving and Handling training provides comprehensive guidance on safely moving individuals, with step-by-step instructions on the most common lifts and moves. Incorrect manual handling accounts for over a third of all workplace injuries reported each year.
