This DVD provides a cost effective approach of providing all of your staff with manual handling training, no matter what their working environment.

With four titles on only 1 DVD there is no need for other industry specific training products.

The DVD is straightforward to use, simply The 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.

Your staff will relate to the work environment and will understand the problems faced and respond positively to the training.

The DVD looks at the following: * How to prevent an injury.
