Our half day manual handling training course aims to educate trainees on the legal requirements, risks factors and correct techniques associated with manual handling tasks.

This course is currently unavailable due to coronavirus. As an alternative during this time you can consider the manual handling e-learning course.

In time we will be re-writing our courses to run as blended courses which will minimise the amount of time we need to spend on site. The blended course will contain an online theory course, combined with some time on site for the practical element. Until this is available we can offer a full online manual handing course – visit the page here.

This course is conducted in accordance with Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 (MHOR 1992). It will prepare candidates to look carefully at their own work activities, collaborating with managers and supervisors to develop safer methods with the aim of reducing workplace injuries.
