The death of manual handling training: What can we learn and unlearn from Olympic lifters

This session challenges the long held belief that “how to lift” training prevents injuries. Despite its popularity, safety regulators and research show it’s ineffective and can even cause harm. Together we’ll unpack why technique isn’t the protective factor many assume, explore what the evidence actually says, and examine real world case studies. We’ll also look at sensor technologies, lifting aids, and other factors that genuinely influence safe manual handling.
