Pathway to safe movement habits

History shows that most manual handling training doesn’t work because the majority of programmes aren’t focused on changing people’s habits. So, if you’ve arrived here to look for an effective way of addressing strain-related injuries in your workplace, we have the solution for you that is going to work.
provention background

Our programmes have two parts:
knowledge acquisition and skill mastery

We understand that for effective change to happen, the focus must be on changing individuals’ habits and how they perform their day-to-day activities. Knowledge acquisition is about understanding the why and how and then we work with you to ensure the content is bespoke to your business and woven into your current practices.

Testimonials

We have witnessed a commendable 90% reduction in RSI injuries since the initiation of the First Move training sessions. The few reported incidents have been minored in nature, emphasizing the effectiveness of early interventions and preventive measures instilled through the programme.

One of the key strengths of the programme lies in its relevance to both home and work life. By equipping employees with life-saving techniques, the training has empowered them to address potential hazards not only within the workplace but also in their personal lives.

- H&S team, Produce Delivered

A very fun interactive manual handling training session taking people a variety of techniques required for performing specific tasks at our plant. We have seen encouraging and consistent results. After year 1 - a 46% reduction in strain/sprain injuries. In year 2 – a further 22% reduction. 3-year mark another 19% reduction in strain/sprain injuries. I recommend the Provention First Move program to any business involved in manual handling

- Safety Training Officer, Lorneville Plant

We had a 64% reduction in strain/sprain injuries in the 2022 – this is assumed to be in direct response to First Move training within our production teams who are now equipped with the knowledge passed on by the Provention Team in Auckland and Christchurch.
