Correct Lifting Techniques Training in brief: Correct Lifting Techniques Training is an online course from ProCompliance covering how the spine works and how lifting injuries happen. It includes a ProCompliance completion certificate when they pass. It takes approx. 10 minutes online.
Why this training matters
Poor lifting technique is a leading cause of back injury at work, and back pain is one of the biggest causes of lost working days in the UK.
Correct Lifting Techniques explains how the spine works and how lifting injuries happen. It then covers assessing a load before you lift, the right technique for lifting, carrying, pushing and pulling, and when to use team lifts or handling aids. It also teaches the warning signs of injury, so people stop before a strain becomes a long term problem.
