Manual Handling Training In The Workplace
Manual handling training in the workplace is usually run in a meeting room. Delivered in the work area instead, it does considerably more, and it costs the same.

It also changes what the session produces. A classroom session produces attendance. A session on the floor produces a list of specific things to fix, with the people who have to live with them present.
Run it at a normal working time, not during a quiet period.
