Appreciation to the Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority (PSIRA)
From SayPro (Southern Africa Youth Project)
For Providing Manual Handling Training – 2023

On behalf of SayPro (Southern Africa Youth Project), we would like to express our profound gratitude and appreciation to the Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority (PSIRA) for offering Manual Handling Training to our team and beneficiaries during the year 2023.

This training has played a pivotal role in enhancing our capacity to foster safety, health, and efficiency in our workplace and beyond. By equipping our team and community members with essential knowledge and practical skills related to manual handling techniques, PSIRA has contributed significantly to the well-being and success of both our organization and the individuals we serve.

Prioritizing Safety and Well-being

Manual handling is an essential aspect of many work environments, and understanding the proper techniques for lifting, carrying, pushing, and pulling heavy or awkward objects can have a profound impact on reducing injuries, improving workplace safety, and increasing overall productivity. Through PSIRA’s generous support, SayPro participants were able to learn:

• The correct posture and lifting techniques to reduce the risk of injury
• Risk assessment skills to identify and address manual handling hazards in the workplace
• Strategies for preventing musculoskeletal disorders and other health-related issues
• Best practices for handling materials and equipment in a safe, efficient manner

These practical skills are already being applied in our daily operations, ensuring that our staff and trainees maintain healthy work practices and avoid preventable injuries.

Building a Culture of Safety and Responsibility

One of the most significant outcomes of this training is the culture of safety it has instilled in our organization and among the individuals we serve. By understanding the importance of safe manual handling, SayPro participants now carry a deep sense of responsibility to ensure their health and safety—and to extend this awareness to others in their communities and workplaces.

This training has also improved the confidence and competence of those who work in environments where manual labor is a critical component. With proper training, our team members now feel more empowered to perform their duties safely, without compromising their well-being or efficiency.

Impacting Communities and Future Leaders

As a youth-focused organization, SayPro is committed to not only providing education and skills but also to ensuring that our beneficiaries are prepared to excel in the workplace. This Manual Handling Training has directly impacted unemployed youth and jobseekers, providing them with a valuable skillset that enhances their employability and readiness for work in various sectors, including security, logistics, retail, and construction.

The knowledge gained from this training will have a lasting impact on participants as they pursue future careers, and it will undoubtedly contribute to safer work environments for years to come.
