Moving & Handling Newsletter

Issue 2-12

Hello again,

You might have noticed the new logo just above this paragraph. The colours look familiar don’t they? It is for the South African Moving & Handling Project, for which, I have had the honour bestowed upon me of becoming the first South African National Moving & Handling Coordinator. Please read the story in the newsletter and I will do my best to keep this newsletter going as well, so as to keep you up to speed in the developments.

Last month I was inundated with requests for the DVD. I expected to maybe move a dozen or so but twice I had to go and get a new box of envelopes and DVD cases. Thanks too, for the many positive comments I had regarding the production. Just in case anyone missed it, I have decided to run the same offer again. When the story first went out, the link to the flash file for the “Understanding REBA” course didn’t work, so if you purchased the DVD but tried and failed to download the course, drop me a line and I can e-mail the file to you.

I have decided to let go this month of my moving and handling electronic presentation which I use in my training. It is similar to PowerPoint, but much better, please read the story.

The last story also has a caption competition with it.

To continue, select any of the stories to the right of this introduction. When you are ready to move on, you will see a continue button in the top right of each story. Click it and you will be returned to this page.
