Manual Handling Training and Assessment

At HSES Consultants, we understand that manual handling is a critical aspect of many jobs, even in sedentary roles. Our experienced and QQI qualified instructors are here to equip your employees with the essential knowledge and skills to perform manual handling tasks safely and efficiently.
