Child's Play in the Office

Product: OC/299D

Most of us are aware that bad lifting and carrying techniques are a major cause of workplace injuries, especially serious back injuries. In today’s workplaces, lifting and carrying related injuries still represent the largest problem in health and safety.

This program looks at the day to day lifting and carrying tasks that occur in most office environments, and demonstrates how best to avoid injuries by examining the approach that children take to these tasks.

For children, correct lifting and carrying comes naturally. It’s only as we get older that we begin to adopt unnatural and potentially injurious lifting and carrying techniques.

The programme delivers the message that correct lifting and carrying techniques are essential if injury is to be avoided, providing a fun, fresh and entertaining way to explore the fundamentals of correct lifting and carrying in an office environment.
