Posted By Little Helper I have already looked at ROSPRA prices which at £900 + I will find hard to afford. Is there anywhere cheaper?. Does anyone know what the IOSH price is for this course is?.

Posted By Philip Roberts Little Helper, I did a course with National Training Services about four years ago and it was excellent. At the time it was the cheapest I could find, approximatly half the ROSPA cost. Their contact is Trevor Wagland, telephone number 01604 472277 good luck with your search Phil Roberts

Posted By Kieran Duignan You might find it useful to consider courses offered by ergonomists who provide manual handling training, as they should be able to help you think through the variety of factors to balance. (sorry for the pun). If you can find a course with certification from a registered ergonomist/registered safety practitioner, that should fit the bill. You should be able to find a suitable list on the website of The Ergonomics Society, www.ergonomics.org.uk
