Watch your back
July 23rd 2007 The launch of ‘Watch Your Back – Manual Handling in your Workplace’ at the Safety & Health Expo 07 was met with universal acclaim, says Safety Media.
This first of its kind interactive DVD provides you with the flexibility to adapt your training session to suit your trainees. ‘Watch Your Back’ features the manual handling task performed in four different environments:Office, Warehouse, Outdoors and Factory.
This DVD provides a cost effective approach to providing staff with manual handling training, no matter what their working environment. With four titles on only one DVD, Safety Media suggests there is no need for other industry specific training products.
The DVD is straightforward to use, simply DVD opens with a dramatic scene in each location, which leads to the main protagonist being injured. Once the opening clips have played, the trainer will select which industry to watch during that training session. Staff will relate to the work environment and will understand the problems faced and respond positively to the training.
The DVD addresses the following issues:
• How to prevent an injury
• How to assess the manual handling task
• What factors will affect the task including the load, the environment and the individual capability.
• Correct positioning
• How to lift and lower the load effectively
• Pushing and pulling
Available for £139 (Plus P&P), this DVD is a cost effective way of ensuring that all of your workforce fully understand the manual handling process. The DVD is available to preview on a free no obligation 7 day trial and can be ordered by calling 0845 345 1703 or visiting the company's website.
