Our e-Learning Course
Manual handling, or to be accurate, incorrect manual handling, is one of the most common causes of injury at work. To try and combat manual handling problems, the Manual Handling Operations Regulations were introduced. The Regulations lay out duties for both employees and employers. They give a general requirement that employees must be trained to manually handle correctly including the use of any equipment their employer provides to handle loads safely.
This course outlines exactly what constitutes manual handling and covers the regulations and legislation that apply to manual handling tasks. It then goes on to cover safe handling techniques and how to develop good habits in relation to manual handling. It finishes off by introducing some practical solutions and the use of mechanical aids. Please note that this is an awareness course only, if your duties include manual handling you will also need further practical training, you can get in touch with us to arrange this.
Training your employees with our online system will go a long way to giving them greater awareness of the dangers that poor manual handling poses, as well as covering safe handling techniques, practical solutions to manual handling issues and the use of mechanical aids.

Why Manual Handling Training?
Did you know that manual handling accounts for over a third of all work-related injuries? Back injuries are the leading cause of staff absenteeism in the UK, but fortunately, most can be avoided with proper training. That's where manual handling training comes in: it's a legal requirement for any situation that involves lifting, lowering, pulling or pushing objects with any level of risk. Given that many workplaces require manual handling, this type of training is essential to ensure the safety and well-being of your staff.
