Manual Handling & Ergonomics
Training designed to prevent injuries
Poor manual handling remains one of the leading causes of musculoskeletal disorders in the workplace. At Cenovate, we deliver physiotherapist-led training that teaches safe lifting, carrying, and handling techniques, while providing ergonomic solutions to improve the working environment.
We understand the impact absences make on UK businesses
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSKs) are one of the leading causes of work-related sickness and absence in the UK.
This makes MSKs one of the costliest health issues for UK employers — both in terms of absence and reduced productivity. Left unaddressed, these issues can lead to long-term absence, lower performance, and higher turnover.

Protecting employees in every sector
Manual handling training is essential for industries such as healthcare, construction, logistics, and manufacturing, where lifting and carrying are daily tasks. It also benefits office environments by addressing posture, workflow, and desk setup.
Employers gain stronger compliance, reduced absence, and fewer claims, while employees gain confidence and safer work practices.
