Manual Handling Online Course

Complete your manual handling training online with this CPD accredited course, designed to help employees understand the risks associated with lifting, carrying, pushing, and pulling in the workplace and how to reduce the likelihood of musculoskeletal injuries. Manual handling injuries account for a significant proportion of workplace injuries reported to the Health and Safety Executive each year, making proper training essential for both employees and employers. This course is built around the requirements of the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 (as amended), which place a legal duty on employers to avoid hazardous manual handling where reasonably practicable, assess the risk of any manual handling that cannot be avoided, and reduce the risk of injury as far as possible. You will learn about the anatomy of the spine and how injuries occur, how to carry out manual handling risk assessments using the TILE framework (Task, Individual, Load, Environment), safe lifting and carrying techniques, correct posture for pushing and pulling, and how to handle repetitive tasks safely. The course is relevant to any workplace where manual handling takes place, including kitchens, warehouses, care homes, offices, and retail environments. Upon completion, you will receive a CPD accredited certificate that demonstrates your competence in safe manual handling practices — recognised by employers across all UK industries.
