The Manual Handling training course can be completed in 3½ hours. It covers a range of topics in order to give the learner confidence to risk assess manual handling tasks and perform said tasks within their workplace.
This course is intended for people who wish to receive the theory and practical skills required for correct manual handling. The Safety, Health and Welfare at Work, (General Applications) Regulations 2007, Chapter 4 of Part 2, outline the requirements that must be adhered to in relation to manual handling.
Manual Handling is a physical activity that takes place in every workplace, and in some cases, the activity does not pose a problem. However, it can be a potential workplace hazard when an employee is required to handle very heavy loads, which could result in a back injury. The type of manual handling activity that needs to be assessed is defined in Regulation 68 of the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work, (General Application) Regulations 2007
Practical: Lifting, Moving, Carrying, Push and Pull
