Manual Handling Course

Essential Safety Training for a Healthier, More Productive Workforce

Our Manual Handling Course provides a safer and more effective approach to lifting and moving objects in the workplace. Because manual handling injuries are a significant risk recognised by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), proper training is essential for any professional environment. Furthermore, this one-day program helps employers meet their legal duty to provide staff with vital health and safety information.

Consequently, this training promotes safe practices that prevent injuries both at work and at home. By mastering these techniques, delegates can significantly reduce the risk of long-term musculoskeletal disorders.

This course is perfectly suited for both novices and experienced delegates across a wide range of industries.

  • Industrial & Warehouse Staff: Those with obvious, high-frequency lifting and handling tasks.

  • Sales & Office Personnel: Workers who may appear to have less handling involved but remain vulnerable to injury.

  • Team Leaders: Individuals who must oversee and promote good practice within their departments.

  • Health and Safety Officers: Professionals looking to supplement specific workplace injury risk prevention.

Course Objectives and Learning Outcomes

By the end of this Manual Handling Course, delegates will be equipped with the knowledge to manage risks effectively. Specifically, the program ensures participants:

  • Understand the Reasons for Safety: Learn the physical and legal importance of safe handling.

  • Perform Risk Assessments: Understand how assessments contribute to overall workplace safety.
