Manual Handling

Staff who regularly handle loads should receive adequate instructions and training.

Staff who regularly manual handle loads of any reasonable weight, awkward sizes or of a repetitive nature should receive adequate instruction and training.

Schools and departments must also consider if hands on training is required. This will likely be required if manual handling is a significant part of a job or there are other high risks associated with manual handling. Practical training must be arranged locally.

Course outline

This course is an overview of good techniques and what to consider when manual handling.

You must complete all the training sections to undertake the test and then the risk assessment.

People and Money will record your successful completion of the training, test and risk assessment. 

The training will take approximately 30 minutes.

The course is now available for staff to enrol on People and Money.
