Workplace Manual Handling Course
Course Introduction
Who should attend?
We are all exposed at times to some form of manual handling such as lifting, carrying, pulling and pushing actions that can be compounded by simultaneous movements such as climbing or pivoting.
The risks arising from manual handling have been recognised by the Health and Safety Executive for many years, as evidenced in their regulations and advisory activities promoting good practice.
The Regulations require employers to provide their employees with health and safety information and training – supplemented, as necessary, with more specific information and training on manual handling injury risks and prevention.
Our Level 2 1-day course provides an ideal approach to safer and more effective Workplace Manual Handling – not only meeting HSE recommendations, but also promoting good and safe practices in any situation.
- This Workplace Manual Handling course is designed for those who undertake manual handling activities in their working role.
- It can be customised so that delegates can experience handling objects which they would encounter in their workplace.

- Personal injuries resulting from incorrect manual handling in the workplace accounts for over one million working days lost per year, as well as the pain and suffering experienced by the casualties
- Correct manual handling techniques can make a huge difference.
