Manual Handling Part 1
If your people are picking anything up they will need to know the Onsite Method. Hingeing and bracing does not come natural to everyone, owning it is an introduction to good bio-mechanics and addressing tight muscle groups

Manual Handling Part 2
If it's heavy, awkward and a mechanical aid is not available we teach your staff to have leadership and permission to ask for a team lift as well as understanding the importance of communication

Testimonials
"Injury prevention is about being proactive instead of reactive, building capacity and minimizing risks. This is essential for safety, longevity and staff wellbeing. Guy focuses on building the foundations for safe lifting,bracing and modifying loads to reduce injury and improve work-based performance.”
Dr Aaron Hennessy
Occupational Therapist and Sports Chiropractor
We did 2, 1 day events in our Sydney and Newcastle scaffolding locations. The response from the men was amazing. Guy's ability to simulate activities to what our men really go through in their day was amazing. As a result of this training our men are constantly on the watch for their team mates not lifting correctly. They are actively stretching and using their legs instead of their backs. Guy’s tailor-made course has really helped us achieve maximum productivity with minimal injury. I would totally recommend Guy to any employer that is trying to avoid injury in the work place and nasty workcover premiums.
MILTON YOUNG - managing director
The Team had a fantastic time learning not only how to move well and to be able to identify how to self assess their own movement going forward. Guy’s ability to engage with each individual and his knowledge of movement really instilled confidence in everyone and his relaxed & easy going nature made for a very enjoyable experience. I would highly recommend Guy and his Team for your Workplace Injury Prevention.
JOEL PETTIGREW- director
Overlooked but so important - working in the roastery involves a fair amount of manual handling. Whether it’s moving around a coffee sack or putting 3-7kg in the hopper, it’s important to take every lift seriously.
Yesterday we had @theonsitecoachfrom @thecoalfacegym come to teach us about correct lifting techniques. Invaluable training for the whole team. On a personal note: I have never attempted to lift one of these bags
