Konekt training solutions

We offer two core training options, delivered by approved trainers either face-to-face or via Microsoft Teams.

Training can be customised to your workplace, focusing on the hazardous manual tasks your employees actually perform.

You can choose either option individually or combine both for a comprehensive approach.

  1. Manual Task Risk Management Training – for management level
  2. Identifying Hazardous Manual Tasks Training – for worker level
