This online manual handling training course covers the dangers associated with lifting and handling tasks in the workplace. This certified training provides the knowledge and skills required to help keep your workforce safe from the risks involved from poor handling techniques and keep your workplace compliant.

Course time: Approx 55 mins

Lack of moving and handling training amongst employees is responsible for a third of all injuries that happen in the workplace. According to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), approximately 470,000 workers suffered with musculoskeletal disorders in the UK in the year 2020/21, which resulted in 6.9 million working days lost.

Injuries due to poor moving and handling techniques can have serious implications for the person who has been injured, and their employer. Injuries can occur anywhere in the workplace, but manual labour, awkward postures, heavy lifting and repetitive movements of arms, legs or back can increase the risks. Safe manual handling techniques help to increase employees’ awareness of the risks involved with lifting, and will lead to safer working environments and reduce the risk of workplace injuries.

Learn more about the legislation that regulates manual handling at work, the health implications that can result from poor manual handling, and how to adopt the correct manual handling techniques across all industries.

The Manual Handling Operations Regulations require an employer to carry out a risk assessment on all manual handling tasks that pose an injury risk, therefore, this course works well with our risk assessment online training course and our online health and safety training.

On successful completion of this course, learners will be awarded with a same-day certificate proving that they understand how to control and reduce the risk of workplace injuries.
