Manual Handling, MSK & Fatigue Risk Management
Traditional manual handling training often focuses on compliance. We focus on behaviour under pressure.
7Futures designs highly engaging learning experiences across traditional health and safety areas, with a focus on practical behaviour change.
Over the past 14 years, we have supported safety-critical organisations to reduce musculoskeletal (MSK) risk, strengthen manual handling standards, and improve fatigue awareness, including for shift-based teams.
What We Deliver
Four complementary formats designed for frontline operational environments.
A scenario-based, team-driven workshop that turns manual handling into applied behavioural practice. Participants work through realistic challenges that strengthen planning, communication and safe load control under pressure.
Manual Handling Assault Course
An interactive session addressing one of the most common workplace risks. Combines hazard recognition, balance control and decision-making to reduce preventable incidents.
Mind Your Step – Slips, Trips & Falls
Practical movement-led sessions focused on reducing strain risk and improving load management. Builds posture awareness, bracing control and movement consistency for physically demanding roles.
MSK & Physical Capacity Workshop
Evidence-informed education and practical tools to improve alertness, recovery and safer decision-making across long days and night shifts.
Fatigue & Sleep for Shift Teams
Outcomes & Benefits
Designed to deliver measurable improvements in safety, capability and workforce sustainability.
Safer manual handling and improved task planning
Reduced injury risk and lower injury related absenteeism
Improved shift alertness and physical readiness
Increased physical capability and movement confidence
Greater understanding of fatigue awareness in shift-based environment
Stronger physical and cognitive safety behaviours
Measurable impact delivered with minimal operation disruption
ROI & Proof of Impact
Our programmes are designed to align with operational KPIs, including absence trends, safety reporting and workforce capability.
This programme has become a cornerstone of workforce sustainability and HSE excellence, delivering:
Reduction in strain-related absence and injury trends
Stronger manual-handling compliance on site
Increased proactive fatigue reporting behaviours
Improved physical confidence and movement competency
Higher engagement and positive safety-culture feedback
Practical wellbeing insights generated through 1-2-1 interactions
Our approach
We work in safety-critical environments where physical capability, alertness and decision-making directly influence risk. Our programmes are grounded in science and best practice but delivered in a practical, direct and operationally realistic way.
We focus on behaviour change, not just information, ensuring that learning transfers back to site. All sessions are designed to fit around operational delivery, with minimal disruption and maximum relevance.
