1 hour 15 minutes, 7 modules. Manual handling, or to be accurate, incorrect manual handling, is one of the most common causes of injury at work.
Manual handling, or to be accurate, incorrect manual handling, is one of the most common causes of injury at work. To try and combat manual handling problems, the Manual Handling Operations Regulations were introduced.
The Regulations lay out duties for both employees and employers. They give a general requirement that employees must be trained to manually handle correctly including the use of any equipment their employer provides to handle loads safely.
This course outlines exactly what constitutes manual handling and covers the regulations and legislation that apply to manual handling tasks. It then goes on to cover safe handling techniques and how to develop good habits in relation to manual handling. It finishes off by introducing some practical solutions and the use of mechanical aids.
Please note that this is an awareness course only, if your duties include manual handling you will also need further practical training, you can get in touch with us to arrange this.
Training your employees with our online system will go a long way to giving them greater awareness of the dangers that poor manual handling poses, as well as covering safe handling techniques, practical solutions to manual handling issues and the use of mechanical aids.
Training is not always the answer. A course covers awareness. Where the law asks for a competent person, a written risk assessment or a system you can evidence, training on its own will not close the gap. Tell us what you are trying to satisfy and we will say plainly whether this course does it.
Questions
Buy it online and the learner gets their login straight away. If you are booking for more than one person, or for several different courses, send us the list and we will quote for the group rather than charging person by person.
It is self paced, so learners can stop and pick up where they left off. The time shown is video content and does not count thinking time on the questions.
Yes. A certificate is issued once the learner passes, and you can download records for everyone you have enrolled.
Yes, per learner and excluding VAT. Group rates are better than the published price, so ask before booking a team.
For awareness it often is. Where a duty needs a competent person, a risk assessment or a documented system, training alone will not close it. If you are not sure which side of that line you are on, ask us before buying.
Next step
Tell us what you are trying to cover and how many people need it. We will tell you which courses do the job, whether a bundle works out cheaper, and where a course on its own will not satisfy the duty you are actually under.
