Sprains and strains are a significant issue at work and most of these injuries are associated with hazardous manual tasks.
Heyday Health can assist your organisation in assessing and controlling manual task risk.
We deliver Manual Task Risk Assessment projects where the risk is assessed and reported along with a discussion of controls.
We deliver Injury Prevention training to workers that presents job specific information about manual tasks and injury risk.
