All of our drivers & fitters attended a course at our Head Office last week to increase their awareness on safe manual handling procedures.

Manual handling relates to the moving of items either by lifting, lowering, carrying, pushing or pulling. The weight of the item is an important factor, but many other factors can create a risk of injury, for example the number of times you have to pick up or carry an item, the distance you are carrying it, where you are picking it up from or putting it down (picking it up from the floor, putting it on a shelf above shoulder level) and any twisting, bending, stretching or other awkward posture you may adopt while doing a task.

It makes us very happy to know our furniture will continue to be delivered safely to all our customers.
