Manual Handling Awareness Online 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.

On successful completion of the course you will obtain a certificate. Your certificate will be available for download as soon as you pass your course.   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.

The Manual Handling Awareness course is accredited by the CPD certification service and approved by The International Institute of Risk & Safety Management IIRSM.
