On-site Manual Handling Course
1 Day
Level 2
Course Details

Manual handling is a common part of daily tasks, involving activities like lifting, carrying, pushing, and pulling. When combined with movements such as twisting, pivoting, or climbing, these actions can increase the risk of injury. Every year, improper manual handling leads to significant workplace injuries, resulting in over a million lost working days—not to mention the physical pain and discomfort suffered by those affected. Learning and applying the correct techniques can greatly reduce these risks.

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has long recognised the dangers associated with manual handling, implementing regulations and guidance to encourage best practices and safer working environments.

Employers are legally required to provide employees with health and safety training, including specific guidance on manual handling risks and injury prevention.

Our manual handling training course is designed to help individuals develop safer and more efficient handling techniques. Not only does it align with HSE recommendations, but it also promotes good practices that can be applied in any workplace setting.

Course Content
  • Understand the reasons for safe manual handling
  • Understand how manual handling risk assessments contribute to improving health and safety
  • Understand the principles, types of equipment and testing requirements associated with manual handling safety
  • Be able to apply safe manual handling principles
Prerequisites

This course is available to all, with no prior training required. The training can be delivered both at your workplace, or at an offsite location.

Assessment

Practical assessment is on-going by the instructor, culminating with a written test.

This qualification does not expire, but refresher training and keeping up to date with changes to policies and procedures is vital to keep the qualification current.

James is an excellent trainer who will fill you with confidence and equip you with the knowledge and skills that you need. We would both highly recommend LJL Training.
