Reduce sprain injuries
Workplace statistics show that the most common injury resulting in more than a week off work is muscular stress, or manual handling injury. Without a proven method to address manual handling injuries, the consequence will be ongoing injuries, measurable costs, loss of productivity and an impact on the well-being of your employees’ lives. The good news is that our First Move Programmes have proven results in reducing strain-sprain injuries across all industries.
“First Move is on the weekly toolbox meeting agenda. Staff have enjoyed the training, embraced the changes and are enjoying the benefits. A lot of the staff have gone home and trained their children on how to lift, bend, carry, etc”
Change and build habits
We understand that getting long-term results requires more than a one-off training programme. The focus must be on changing habits and ensuring the content is bespoke to the physical risks of your business. Our 5-step Pathway to Safe Movement Habits® ensures this is achieved - so both the business and the individual benefit.
Our Train-Trainer option allows organisations to manage First Move internally without relying on external health providers. It ensures that all levels of the business are involved and engaged.
Work Specific Programmes
Our programmes have been developed to address work activities with a high work-related injury rate. Each programme is customised to address the common movements that, if done incorrectly, cause injuries. The principles we teach are modelled on the movements of the un-injured worker. We call this physical intelligence.
First Move Manual Handling programme addresses common movements associated with moving, handling and lifting objects.
First Move for Drivers programme improves the physical well-being and comfort of individuals driving for extended periods.
First Move Office programme equips individuals with the practical knowledge and confidence to self-manage their physical well-being at their workstations.
We also offer two supplementary programmes to further support your employees in remaining injury free:
First Move Warm Up.
First Move Recovery.
Our programmes can be customised to meet your organisation’s needs. We work with a wide range of companies to implement programmes specifically relevant to the movement of workers, including manufacturing, construction, forestry, transport, daycare, office and many more.
Find the programme that works for you
Our First Moves Programmes empower individuals to possess the understanding to maintain their physical well-being just like an uninjured worker. In other words, it is the development of physical intelligence.
