Why EUSR Manual Handling Training Matters – And How Pragmatic Consulting Ltd Can Help You !

When it comes to workplace safety, manual handling is one of the most overlooked risks - yet it's one of the leading causes of injury across multiple industries. At Pragmatic Consulting Ltd, we’re proud to offer EUSR Accredited Manual Handling Training, designed to meet real site challenges with practical solutions.

What Is Manual Handling Training?

Manual handling covers any task involving the lifting, carrying, pushing, or pulling of objects. Without the proper technique or awareness, these tasks can easily lead to strains, sprains, or more serious musculoskeletal injuries.

Our EUSR (Energy & Utility Skills Register) training equips individuals with the knowledge and techniques they need to move items safely and efficiently, while also complying with industry best practices and legal requirements.

Why Choose EUSR Accreditation?

EUSR is a recognised standard across the utilities and energy sectors. Training with EUSR accreditation:

• Reinforces your team’s skills and safety awareness
• Improves compliance with health and safety regulations such as Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992
• Reduces the risk of injury and downtime
• Enhances overall workplace efficiency

• NERS, GIRS, WIRS, MURS and other utility workers
