This course will cover the legal and regulatory requirements for minimising risks, helping employees understand how to perform Manual Handling tasks safely and efficiently. By completing this training, participants will be able to recognise and manage activities that pose risks to their health, especially those leading to back injuries, which are common, yet preventable with proper techniques.

What Manual Handling is?

Manual handling refers to any activity where a person transport or support loads, this could include lifting, putting down, pushing, pulling, carrying, or moving a load. These tasks may seem straightforward, but when performed without attention to ergonomics, or under conditions that stress your body, they can lead to serious injuries. Unfavourable conditions such as awkward postures, heavy or unbalanced loads, and repetitive tasks significantly increase the risk of harm.

This course aims to prevent these risks by teaching proper techniques and explaining why certain positions, movements, and lifting methods are safer than others.
