About
It may come as a surprise to find out that manual handling accidents are responsible for around a third of all workplace injuries! That's why The Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 require that members of staff are properly trained before undertaking manual handling tasks.
As most work environments employ staff who incorporate some use of manual handling in their work, our manual handling eLearning training is designed to give a superb overview for all industries and sectors, providing an ideal way to show your staff how to lift safely in a smart, efficient and professional process. Once your staff have completed our manual handling eLearning course, they will understand how to look after their body correctly and to move loads with safety and confidence.
This course forms part of our wider reaching working safely training section, where you can find out more on fire safety eLearning, risk assessment and working safely.
