Training Manual Handling Injury Prevention Compliance Professional Skills Assessment

Course Overview

Manual Handling Training Online Course Overview
Manual handling causes a large share of workplace musculoskeletal injuries in the UK. This online course explains what manual handling means under the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992, how it links to the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, and what employers and employees must do in practice. You will work through real workplace scenarios — stock rooms, deliveries, care tasks and office moves — using the TILE approach (Task, Individual, Load, Environment) to spot hazards before anyone is hurt. The course focuses on awareness, planning and communication: choosing mechanical aids, team lifts, good posture and when to stop and reassess. This programme is designed for busy teams who need clear, course-specific guidance rather than generic health and safety slogans. It supports CPD records and onboarding, but your employer remains responsible for site-specific risk assessments, equipment training and any legally required practical demonstrations.
