WHY ERGONOMICS & MANUAL HANDLING TRAINING MATTERS
Poor manual handling techniques and incorrect workstation setups are among the leading causes of workplace injuries, including back strain, repetitive strain injuries, and long-term musculoskeletal disorders. Investing in ergonomics and manual handling training not only ensures compliance with legal health and safety obligations but also helps employers create a safer, more efficient working environment. Employees trained in best practices are more likely to avoid injury, take proactive steps to reduce risk, and contribute to a positive safety culture within their teams.
