You are busy so we will be brief and to the point!
Are you an independent Coffee Shop, Pub, Bar, Restaurant or Bistro owner?
Did you know that if an employee of yours strains or injures their back at work and they have not received Manual Handling training from you, they can sue you for damages.
Most Insurance companies will pass on the cost of any claim to you in the form of increased insurance premiums.
Any claims paid out on your behalf stay in your insurance record for 6 years (Ireland).
Between 2013 and 2019, I was running a chain of 18 coffee shops across the Republic of Ireland. Iwas HORRIFIED at the cost of training staff in Manual Handling which is mandatory requirement for employers. Even more infuriating was the fact that Iwould pay for a Manual Handling Trainer to come in to teach new employees Manual Handling and very often, the employee would leave for another job meaning the cost of the training was lost. Plus Ihad to train the replacement employee, effectively having to start the training process from scratch.
To make matters worst, my insurance costs were going through the roof and Iwas worried that if a staff member strained their back when carrying a load, Icould be in trouble if they decided to claim from my Employers Liability Insurance. And the insurance company might not cover me if the staff member was not trained in Manual Handling. But what if the newly trained employee just left us in a week?
So Iwent out and hired safety expert Sean Madigan of SMSafety. Sean has over 25 years of Health &Safety experience and is a certified Manual Handling instructor. And together we made this video course for my own company. Almost overnight, our Manual Handling training costs went down by 85%. We had confidence that new staff had a basic understanding of Manual Handling on day one of their employment. If they stayed with us for 3 months, we would give them full training. But at least if they left, it did not cost us anything in terms of lost training.
This course was an ideal stop-gap, a bridge if you like, between the risk of no training and costly full training. And it worked. Back injuries disappeared overnight from my company because all staff had to sign a form after watching this 30 minute course that they understood its contents.
So if you are a small or medium sized business in the food & beverage sector - Coffee Shops, Bars, Bistro's, Restaurants - this will be the best investment you make this year! It's OKfor the big companies as they have more resources. This course is aimed at the small to medium independent operators for whom EVERYPENNYCOUNTS.
