Each and every employee in an organization performs the task up to the level of its capabilities. If you force any employees to do extra work beyond his/her capabilities would definitely affect the environment of the workplace. It's better for the management of the organization to incorporate active training session for the employees, who are new and can really prove beneficial for the company, if nourished well. Manual handling training includes, disposal of hazardous chemical, fire evacuation, basic first aid, prevention of accident and some other important issues.

The main objective of the organization should be making proper arrangement of the training for the employees, who desperately need it. It will help to increase the ability of the employee to protect and improve their own and others' health at work and outside work. If the company doesn't have the adequate resources to organize Manual handling training, then must hire a company that will provide their employees best training.
