MBE for manual handling expert
Davy Snowdon, founder and managing director of Oxfordshire-based Pristine Condition, has been awarded an MBE for the business’s contribution to health and safety awareness and training in industries across the length and breadth of the country, and the significant reduction in workplace accidents as a direct result of their efforts.
Snowdon is a former world record-breaking weightlifter and Pristine Condition applies the mechanics of Olympic weightlifting and anatomical principles to the workplace to create bespoke training programmes to meet operational requirements, overcome logistical challenges and fit budgetary constraints.
“Using Olympic weightlifting techniques for manual handling, our clients have seen significant benefits, with recent analysis showing that companies we’ve worked with have achieved unprecedented results – in some cases 100% reduction – in the number of recorded manual handling incidents, accidents and claims,” he says.
