What people are saying

Real experiences from the people who use our training every day

The Backsafe manual handling and patient moving training is outstanding, very engaging and tailored to your needs. Peter and Jane are wonderful trainers, full of knowledge and personality and get you involved. I have used Backsafe training previously as a safety manager in a large not for profit organisation, feedback and results were amazing.  Great training, great people and great results!

Your training program was succinct and presented the most critical information in a clear and concise manner. I have completed several university degrees and attended many in house training programs throughout my career as a teacher and health facilitator. This training presented by BACKSAFE however, was by far, one of the most enjoyable, interactive and informative training programs I have ever attended. Peter and Jane were clear communicators, they were reassuring, gave clear and specific feedback. I am glad I made the decision to complete this training. I really loved the concepts and connected with them from a safety aspect but also from a positive health outlook.
