Manual Material Handling
If your work requires tasks that involve manual materials handling (lifting, lowering, carrying, pushing, pulling, holding or restraining), you would likely benefit from manual materials injury prevention training. When the work exceeds a worker's physical capabilities, however, serious injuries can result. Learn how to reduce injuries at your workplace by identifying the tasks with the highest injury and learn the skills needed to control the risk factors associated with the work.
