Who is it for?
Whilst the HSE say that any business that employs more than 5 people must have a Health & Safety policy, procedure and training programme in place. We believe that any employer has a duty of care to his/her employees to ensure that they are safe at work.
Approximately 26% of accidents and injuries at work are caused by lifting and carrying. 2/5th of RIDDOR reported accidents & incidents are due to bad Manual Handling.
