Description

One bad lift can put you out for weeks. That is what our manual handling training prevents. Handling, lifting and carrying causes roughly one in six workplace injuries. And the damage does not always show up straight away. Around 511,000 workers in Britain live with a musculoskeletal disorder caused by their job. Back problems account for 221,000 of those. Together those workers lose 7.1 million working days a year. So employers have a legal duty to train anyone who lifts at work. Our manual handling online training course covers the law, the injuries and the safe way to lift. Short modules, no filler. 

Manual Handling Training Course Features:

  • 100% online learning
  • Free CPD-certified digital certificate
  • Optional printed certificate
  • Lifetime course access
  • Free assessment re-takes
  • Short modules on lifting and carrying
Our manual handling training course online covers the law, the risks and the technique in one sitting.

What Makes Our Programme Different

Anyone can copy a lifting posture without knowing what it protects. And technique slips the moment a job gets awkward. So this online manual handling training puts the law and the reasoning first. That is what you fall back on when a load is an odd shape. It will not fix everything, though. Training cannot undo a badly designed task. Your employer still has to assess the risk and change the job where they can.

Manual Handling Training Learning Outcomes

Finish the course and you can:
  • Explain what the law asks of you and your employer.
  • Name the injuries that poor lifting causes.
  • Recognise the tasks most likely to hurt someone.
  • Carry out a risk assessment before a lift.
  • Apply the TILE factors to any handling job.
  • Cut risk by rethinking the task itself.
  • Use lifting aids and equipment properly.
  • Lift, carry and set down loads safely.
  • Report an incident with the right detail.

Assessment Method

You'll take a short quiz after each part of the course. Get 60% and you move on. Don't stress if you miss it the first time, because you can retry as many times as you want.

How Long Does the Manual Handling Training Take to Learn?

Most people do it within a week. The modules are short and there is no waiting between them. Come back later if a shift gets in the way. A care worker on nights could get through it across two breaks.

Recommended Renewal

Employers often ask for a refresher every three years. The certificate itself carries no end date. Techniques and guidance do move on, so a look back keeps you sharp.

Key Takeaways from This Training

What you take into work:
  • A working grasp of MHOR 1992.
  • Risk assessment you can run in your head.
  • Lifting technique that protects your back.
  • A CPD certificate for your employer.
