Join the Thames Valley IOSH Branch for a thought-provoking and practical session: Manual Handling: A Different Perspective

This military-inspired talk explores the real story behind manual handling, challenging conventional thinking and offering a unique, experience-led perspective. Discover how discipline, mindset and real-world insight can reduce injuries and change the way we approach manual tasks.

We’ll uncover the truth behind common injuries, drawing on lessons learned from military environments and applying them to everyday workplaces.

Whether you're a health and safety professional, team leader, or simply interested in a new take on manual handling, this event offers fresh insight and actionable takeaways.

With a distinguished background in the armed forces, Harold brings a unique approach to manual handling and workplace safety – combining discipline, experience and lived reality. He is passionate about changing mindsets and behaviours on the ground, making training more than just a box-ticking exercise.
