In this scenario, you are loading a delivery van ready for a day on the road. Your course mentor, Sam, introduces you to “the first rule of manual handling”, conducts a TILE risk assessment for manual handling and teaches you to select the correct equipment for the task.
The first delivery stop on your route is an office block. This is your chance to put the TILE risk assessment into action. Decide on the best way to make your delivery, selecting the correct equipment and methods to ensure safety. This part of the course ends with a recap of TILE and its importance.
The second stop is an industrial kitchen. Your task is to consider the TILE risk assessment and work out the best way to deliver the new equipment. Covering manual handling weights, equipment and individual factors in manual handling ability, this section of the course looks at one-person manual handling tasks.
Your final stop involves delivering a large piece of equipment to a customer. It’s too heavy to move alone, so you request help from Sam. By choosing the right equipment and planning the right procedure to use, you can make sure the last delivery doesn’t end with manual handling-related injuries.
Learners are assessed by their scenario-based questions. Correct answers keep the risk-o-meter in the green; incorrect answers push it towards the red. Answer all questions correctly within each section to collect one of the four manual handling badges.

Included Features
Manual handling is one of the leading causes of workplace injuries and accidents. Though it should always be minimised or avoided where possible, the fact remains that manual handling is a key part of many job roles.
Both employees and employers have a responsibility to ensure manual handling tasks are conducted correctly. For employers, carrying out a risk assessment and providing proper training is essential. Good quality manual handling training reduces the risks of workplace injuries.
The first rule of manual handling is: if you can avoid manual handling, do so. If you are able to complete the task by using machinery, this is the better and safer option. Manual handling causes thousands of workplace accidents every year and contributes to long-term health issues when not done correctly.
Manual handling training is needed for anyone who lifts, carries or moves objects in their work. This can be a key part of their role or an occasional task. Nobody should be undertaking any form of manual handling in the workplace if they have not received the appropriate training.
Heavy lifting is defined as any task that is physically taxing and has the potential to put a strain on the musculoskeletal system. Heavy lifting jobs need to be carefully monitored to make sure they are not putting too much of a strain on the person involved.
