approach to manual handling, based on a great deal of research and experience. The lively
and informative presentation is delivered in a
realistic, achievable and enjoyable format, with a
little bit of fun in the process. It will demonstrate
why the Pristine Condition programme is
experiencing phenomenal results in the reduction of
manual handling accidents and injuries.
