Manual Handling Training Course

At Winter & Company we believe that Manual Handling training should be an interactive, uninhibited experience, allowing free thought, discussion and learning.

Our objective is to encourage and develop our training delegates confidence, ability and understanding in matters of Manual Handling, in order to safely undertake Manual Handling activities at work.

By adopting this strategy we have earned an enviable reputation as Professional Health & Safety Trainers.
