Manual handling course overview
This comprehensive online manual handling training course is designed to equip individuals with the skills and knowledge to understand correct manual handling techniques. Manual handling is integral to most job roles, and individuals must receive adequate training that instructs on the do’s and don’ts to prevent workplace injuries. Shockingly, statistics indicate that 1 in 3 workplace injuries occur due to poor manual handling practices. Therefore, the law states that as an employer, you must protect your workers from the risk of injury from hazardous manual handling in the workplace. So, if an employee transports or supports a load by hand or bodily force by lifting, putting down, pushing, pulling, carrying, or moving, they need sufficient training to reduce the likelihood of harm.
This course covers various aspects of manual handling, including techniques, best practices, and safety measures to prevent injuries in the workplace and includes:
- Risks and hazards associated with manual handling and the importance of correct handling techniques (find out more about manual handling risk factors in one of our recent blogs).
- What The Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 Act is, and why it was introduced.
- The importance of correct manual handling, accident rates and types of injuries sustained.
- Correct lifting and handling techniques.
- The importance of choosing the correct mechanical aids if required, knowing their safe working limits and carrying out basic visual checks before use.
- Postural awareness, how the spine works, and how injuries can occur.
Our online manual handling course is designed to be an intuitive schooling platform that is suitable for all learners. It teaches the risks, hazards, and importance of correct handling techniques in an informative and engaging way. The learning modules and key points are in bite-sized durations to promote memory retention and recall. Each section of the manual handling course is directly followed by a multiple-choice segment relevant to the preceding instruction.
- Available online 24/7.
- The course is accessible on all devices, including mobiles and iPads.
- High first-time pass rate.
- Unlimited access to the course material and free resits if you fail any of the modules.
- Certificate of Training available as an instant download upon successful completion of the course.
This manual handling training course consists of three modules, each of which is followed by a multiple-choice section. Participants must achieve a minimum score of 85% to proceed to the next module. If they do not pass a module, they are entitled to free resits until they have mastered the relevant course material.
After completing the course, participants receive a training certificate immediately. Local Authorities and principal contractors recognise this certificate, which is valid for three years.
The course emphasises the prevention of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), which make up over 30% of work-related illnesses. It aims to reduce the risk of developing MSDs by implementing easy-to-follow techniques and guidelines.
It also dispels the common belief that manual handling injuries only occur when lifting heavy objects. To prevent injuries, it focuses on using proper posture and positioning a load in relation to the person's body weight.
The course is suitable for people in all industries. It meets legal requirements for employers and educates people about the consequences of improper practices. It is designed to give employees the practical techniques they need for safe and efficient manual handling.
There is a myriad of benefits that come with a manual handling qualification - we’ve outlined some of the most important below:
- One of the main benefits of this training course would be your compliance with the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 Act, which states that employees must follow appropriate systems of work laid down for their safety.
- If an employee has received no training, the responsibility lies solely with the employer should there be an injury caused by a manual handling procedure. Not only does this increase risk within the workplace, but you, as an employer, would be liable for any fines and prosecution.
- 27% of all workplace injuries that require over a week off work are due to manual handling. Injuries of 7 days or more must be reported to the HSE. Most of these injuries can be avoided with adequate training.
- Manual handling injuries often damage the back and lower spine, where just 5 of the 33 vertebrae support the entire weight of the head and torso. This lower spine area has far more flexibility and movement and can be particularly vulnerable to injury.
- The recurrence rate for back injuries is 70%, and one of the main reasons injuries are so common is that many are caused by the cumulative effects of repeating an activity with poor posture, which can be avoided with proper training.
