Who should attend the Manual Handling course?
It is a general requirement that all employees who are required to lift or carry items at work should attend a manual handling course.
Each employer has a responsibility to make suitable and sufficient assessments of all such manual handling operations. This course can help attendees understand all aspects of lifting and handling.
Incorrect handling and lifting are among the most common causes of injury and work, and so Manual Handling Operations Regulations were introduced in 1992 to combat the associated risks.
This online safety training course is a flexible and cost-effective solution designed to inform employees of correct manual handling methods.
Recommended System Requirements:
- An up to date web browser e.g. Chrome or Firefox

Back problems are one of the most common ailments in the UK and the cost of absences from back pain costs the country millions of pounds every year. All too often, back problems stem from a simple lifting incident and once the damage is done it can lead to a recurring affliction for many years to come.
Our manual handling training course offers training to help avoid these injuries occurring in the first place by teaching people manual handling awareness. This helps them make assessments on whether an object is suitable for lifting and the techniques to use if it is deemed to be safe.
Who Needs Manual Handling Training?
The Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 require all employers who lift or carry loads of any size to attend manual handling training courses. Manual handling training is also useful for other staff, who wouldn’t normally lift in their everyday roles, as anyone could potentially attempt to move a heavy box or carry equipment somewhere.
Even those who have already undertaken a manual handling course in the past should conduct refreshers periodically as it is easy to forget to follow best practice over time.
What Do Manual Handling Training Courses Cover?
The half day manual handling training course from Boss Training allows employers to comply with manual handling regulations. It is usually carried out at your own premises, which makes it easy to train a number of people at one time. Delegates gain an understanding of the regulations and learn manual handling awareness. They will be taught techniques to assess hazards and determine the safest method of lifting without incurring injury. The manual handling course will enable employers to comply with health and safety regulations, whilst also minimising the risk of injury within the workplace.
