Employers have a responsibility to train staff on health and safety when they start employment even if they have completed previous training.
Many countries implement laws regarding safe lifting and carrying, with the Manual Handling Regulations serving as the framework in the UK.

Employers should use the foundation principles established in this module to develop and incorporate specific procedures during job training as necessary.
Musculoskeletal injuries represent a significant cause of disabilities around the globe. This module explores the nature of these injuries, their causes, and effective strategies to reduce risk of injury. Key topics include understanding musculoskeletal injuries, differentiating between acute and cumulative injuries, and recognising responsibilities in the workplace.

If needed, incorrect answers can be reviewed before retaking the quiz as many times as needed.
Completing training doesn’t always mean that action and change happens! Use our unique action plans that learners can download from within the module and completed. A series of questions asks learners to apply the information in the module to their workplace to identify the specific procedures they should follow and identify areas where they need further information or training. Managers can use the action plans to discuss with individuals and organise additional information and training to ensure all the team are confident with the Safety procedures.
