Employers have a legal duty to ensure their employees are safe from any risk of injury associated with hazardous manual handling. The Manual Handling Operations Regulations of 1992 clearly mandate that employees must be taught manual handling procedures, including the use of any equipment provided by their company to properly handle loads. Employees who receive manual handling training are better able to do manual handling activities safely, lowering their risk of harm.

This Manual Handling Training Course covers the definition of manual handling as well as the legislations and regulations that apply to manual handling duties. It then goes on to discuss safe handling procedures and how to create healthy manual handling habits. This course offers organisations the required information and training to better understand the hazards associated with manual handling, how to conduct a risk assessment, and how to implement suitable control measures. This course concludes with some practical suggestions including the usage of mechanical aids.

Manual handling injuries are thought to be responsible for 21% of all nonfatal occupational injuries, as well as a third of all musculoskeletal diseases (MSDs). Manual handling, or more precisely, poor manual handling, can result in dreadful injuries that can render a person completely immobile for a period of time. Therefore, it is extremely important for all employers to train their employees in manual handling to ensure the workplace complies with the approved safety standards.
