Manual handling agency employees

Post by yorkmover123 »

Do agency employees receive Manual handling every 3 years after they have been inducted.

Royal Mail policy for RM employees is every 3 years it’s mandatory to have Manual handling training.

What’s Royal Mail policy for agency employees the same I’ve never seen any agreement on agency employees training
