Adelaide Manual Handling Training
Occupation Specific Injury Prevention for your Business
Our Adelaide manual handling training is different. We are specific to stresses in your business whether you are radiographers or sonographers, hairdressers or beauticians or sit at a desk. Each session is designed to address the stresses and positions your staff encounter day to day. How they should move, why they get sore and how they can reduce tightness and soreness at work.
What does this mean? Happier, healthier staff which are cared about by their organisation will stay. Less sick days, more productivity and staff retention. A great result for all parties, management and staff.
This seminar aims to give your staff the skills to:
- Understand their anatomy and how their postures and movements at work affect their biomechanics
- Give you and your staff tools to stretch and strengthen the correct muscle
- Understand the injury risks in their industry
- We run this workshop at your work place for your industry, Office workers, Hairdressers, Sonographers, Beauticians, Tradesman and any other industry.
To organise the workshop the initial step will be consultation at your workplace, then plan the workshop and then finding a mutually beneficial time for training. We can also train one of your staff to train new staff when they arrive. Please contact us for more information
