Manual Handling Training

Each of our courses ends with a multiple-choice test to measure your knowledge of the material.

This Online Manual Handling training programme ends with a 20-question multiple choice test with a printable certificate.

As well as printable user certificates, training progress and results are all stored centrally in your LMS (Learning Management System) and can be accessed any time. From there, you can re-print certificates; check and set pass marks and use the system as proof of commitment to ongoing legal compliance.

What does my Manual Handling Training certificate include?

Your Manual Handling Certificate includes your name, company name (if applicable), name of course taken, pass percentage, date of completion, expiry date and stamps of approval or accreditations by recognised authorities such as CPD and IOSH approved meaning other companies will recognise this great achievement in developing your staff.

Please note if you are using our course content via SCORM in a third party LMS then we are unable to provide certificates and you will need to generate these in your host LMS yourself.

It’s important that you comply with the law and know how it affects you and how you work.

Under The Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992, Manual Handling includes the lifting, lowering, pushing, pulling, carrying and movement of anything by hand or bodily force. The Management of Health & Safety at Work Regulations 1999 (13(2)) also require that every employer must ensure that their employees are provided with adequate health and safety training.

Council Directive 90/269/EEC issued on May 29, 1990, sets forth minimum health and safety standards for manual handling of loads posing a risk, particularly for back injuries among workers.

What does Manual Handling training mean for my company?

Providing manual handling training means that your business will be kept safe from any liability which may arise from untrained staff. These accreditations also mean that you adhere to multiple regulations regarding manual handling.

Employers must ensure that workers receive proper training and information on how to handle loads correctly, and the risks they might be open to, particularly if these tasks are not performed correctly. – Council Directive 90/269/EEC, Article 6, Section 2

Providing manual handling training offers several benefits for both workers and employers. Here are some of the top advantages of manual handling training:

• Reduced Risk of Injury: Manual handling training can help employees learn how to lift, move, and handle objects safely and efficiently, reducing the risk of injury and MSDs.
• Improved Workplace Safety: By providing manual handling training, employers can create a safer working environment and reduce the number of accidents and injuries in the workplace.
• Increased Productivity: Proper manual handling techniques can help employees work more efficiently, reducing the time and effort required to complete tasks and increasing productivity.
• Compliance with Regulations: Many countries have specific regulations and guidelines related to manual handling, and providing training can help employers comply with these requirements.
• Improved Employee Satisfaction: When employees feel confident and safe in their work, they are more likely to be satisfied with their job and perform better.
