Health and Safety matters....
The message from JMS Consultants is strong.... ‘In order to avoid fines of up to £20,000 and/or a prison sentence stemming from the H&S (offences) Act, which came into force in January 2009, employers need to provide suitable and sufficient training to all staff for their health safety and welfare.
In the current economic climate many companies may be tempted to cut costs by tackling their manual handling training in-house. Unfortunately this may be false economy. Many in-house manual handling programmes are based on outdated approaches which can cause as many injuries as they prevent!
Another problem with many in-house Manual Handling programmes is the lack of follow through. Many companies provide training but do not follow this up with adequate support allowing employees to slip back into unsafe practices. By outsourcing their Manual Handling training to a specialist Manual Handling company, which offers training tailored to its specific needs, businesses can be sure they are receiving the safest, most up-to-date training and are buying into a behavioural safety system.
This can also help businesses to reduce the cost of Lost Time Accidents (LTA), the biggest cause of accident/injury in the workplace. Manual Handling accounts for over a third of all LTAs at a cost to injury of over £1 billion annually! As Health and Safety consultants and providers of health and safety training, JMS Consultants are specialists in the design and delivery of tailored Manual Lifting and Handling training solutions. We also offer other OPITO and IOSH approved health and safety training courses, solutions and consultancy services across a diverse range of industries and business sectors.
