What is Manual Handling training?
Employers have a legal obligation to properly assess and control manual handling risks. This responsibility includes doing the utmost to prevent injuries caused through poor manual handling, a common cause of sickness absence.
The 3 hour training is delivered by a RoSPA qualified trainer. It covers all aspects of safe manual handling, including lifting techniques and LITE. Plus, the course explores in some depth why safe manual handling is so important to an employee’s health and wellbeing.
Our training is flexible and 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 normally encounter in their workplace.
Course content
We offer two courses, one for operators who may be at risk from manual handling injuries, the other is for managers or supervisors who need to understand risks to comply with legal requirements.
The essential components operators will learn are:

- Good handling techniques.
- Basic physiology (spine, anatomy, structure and function).
Managers, supervisors and responsible employees will learn:
- Legal requirements.
- Ergonomics.
- Implementing safe handling policies.
- Risk assessments.
