A proven way of doing things to stop people getting hurt.
Workplace statistics show that the most common injury resulting in more than a week off work is muscular stress from manual handling. Without a proven method to address manual handling injuries, the consequence will be ongoing injuries, measurable costs, loss of productivity and an impact on the well-being of your employees’ lives.
The good news is that our programmes have proven results in reducing strain-sprain injuries across all types of industries.
Everyone on the Provention team possesses extensive industry experience and is a qualified health professional. We aim to assist you in reducing the risk of sprains and strains caused by incorrect manual handling. Our practical and effective programmes will enable your team to adopt correct techniques and movements that become routine, resulting in a productive and happy team.
Our goal is to improve people’s lives.
It’s time to help your workforce become physically intelligent.
History shows that most manual handling training doesn’t work because the majority of programmes aren’t focused on changing people’s habits. So, if you’ve arrived here to look for an effective way of addressing strain-related injuries in your workplace, we have the solution for you that is going to work.
So often we get feedback on how great our programmes are because they change habits. These programmes are different - it’s not your stock-standard stuff from the past. Forget what you know about ‘lifting training,’ ‘manual handling training’ and ‘bend your knees’ – they just don’t work; neither does one-off ‘training,’ where the content quickly gets forgotten.

“The pain in my back was so severe that I was taking up to 6 nurofen a day to relieve pain. I am currently not needing to take any nurofen and can work comfortably all day at work.”
Pathway to Safe Movement Habits
Our programmes have two parts: knowledge acquisition and skill mastery
We understand that for effective change to happen, the focus must be on changing individuals’ habits and how they perform their day-to-day activities. Knowledge acquisition is about understanding the why and how and then we work with you to ensure the content is bespoke to your business and woven into your current practices.
“A very fun interactive manual handling training session with a variety of techniques for performing specific tasks at our plant. We have seen encouraging and consistent results. After year one, a 46% reduction in strain/sprain injuries. In year two, a further 22% reduction. 3-year mark another 19% reduction in strain/sprain injuries. I recommend the Provention First Move programme to any business involved in manual handling.”
In 2020/2021 ACC paid over $210 million for lifting, carrying and strain injuries. $52 million on twisting injuries and $33 million on push or pull injuries. If your people are experiencing these injuries, your business will experience direct and indirect injury-related costs.
We are not just about injury prevention and back care but human optimisation. By enabling your workforce to become physically intelligent, your business gets other benefits:
• Workload spread fairly.
• Increased productivity.
• Reduction in errors and fatigue.
• Improved staff morale and well-being.
• Increased staff retention.
• Reduced injury-related costs.
Some of Australasia's largest companies trust us because we deliver safe movement programmes with lasting results.
Simple, effective programmes your staff will thank you for:
Provention’s First Moves programmes equip individuals with the knowledge to move, think and look after their physical well-being the same way an un-injured worker has always done. This is Physical Intelligence.
