This session was recorded at Health & Safety Matters Live Leeds in March 2026. Davy Snowdon, a former Olympic weightlifter, shares how he applied Olympic weightlifting principles to industrial manual handling training, discovering that showing workers the physical discomfort of incorrect techniques and demonstrating pain-free alternatives creates the most effective behaviour change.
Through real-world applications—from paper mills to electrical towers to airport baggage handling—he demonstrates how the "pristine principles" reduce injury rates by over 70%, proving that realistic, tangible training in workers' actual environments is far more effective than traditional safety policies and procedures.1
