The importance of proper manual handling in every workplace

Manual handling is used in nearly every industry, including construction, manufacturing, healthcare, retail, logistics, education, and warehousing.  Without proper training, repetitive lifting or poor handling practices can result in long-term injuries, reduced productivity, and absenteeism from work.  Our training places the employee in front of risk early on, helping them to use a safer way of working while contributing to a positive safety culture where everyone in the workplace is accountable for preventing injuries.

Upon successfully completing our programme, participants will receive a manual handling certificate demonstrating they have been trained in recognized manual handling principles and safe working practices.  The certification is valuable evidence of their competence and helps employers to fulfil workplace training obligations.  It also builds employees’ confidence by confirming their knowledge of the correct handling procedures and practical measures to reduce risk.

The benefits of completing our training are:

  • Improves workplace safety awareness for employees and managers.

Our courses are based on realistic workplace situations which employees experience on the job each day.
