Lifting the right way

A short half-day session that teaches you how to lift, carry, push and pull without hurting your back or body. For warehouse workers, drivers, shop staff, carers – anyone who moves things by hand.

We deliver training to the high standards set by ITSSAR (Independent Training Standards Scheme and Register), one of the UK’s most respected forklift accrediting bodies. When your employees pass, They receive:

• An official ITSSAR certificate (recognised nationwide)
• An ITSSAR operator ID card (if requested charges apply)

We also offer In-House Training!

The entire course should take no longer than 4 hours and up to 10 employees per course can be covered.

• Look at any box or item and decide “Can I lift this safely or do I need help?”
• Bend your knees and keep your back straight every time you lift
