Testimonials

Our Principal Consultant, Michael has worked with a large variety of clients both as an internal and external consultant. Here are some statements from clients that have engaged with him:

Life Without Barriers

LWB had been looking for an organisation that would provide a professional and uncomplicated train the trainer manual handling programme that would meet the workplace health and safety requirements for Life Without Barriers. On choosing Momentum, we found the training  very focused, consistent,  professional  and the consultant  expressed the manual handling  concepts into a practical, useful outcome within the short time frame suiting the participants’ availability. We would therefore recommend Momentum to other organisations requiring similar training.

Group News

GNS Wholesale Stationers have used Momentum Safety and Ergonomics for Manual Handling training for our Warehouse, Office & Sales staff. Michael took the time to first come and look around our sight to see the problems areas that we had to put together the programme and suggestions for us. The information and training given was informative and practical for all our needs. We were taught how to look after our bodies using safe movements, techniques and general day to day care. The theory side was very informative and then actually getting out and using the information and techniques with the staff was of great benefit. I would have no hesitation in recommending Momentum Safety and Ergonomics to any company and look forward to having them back out for our annual training again this year.
