About this course

This course is aimed at anyone who requires a course in manual handling and is ideal for all workplace requirements. The course is designed to meet the requirements and recommendations of the HSE Manual Handling Regulations 1992.

Correct manual handling training will reduce the risk of accidents occurring by identifying and preventing them. Manual handling is not difficult to learn but can save a lot of problems for employers and employees. This course covers the moving of objects, but we also have online and classroom courses for the Moving and Positioning of People.

The course covers legislation, common injuries, good practice, accident prevention and different lifting aids. Also covered is a section on manual handling risk assessment and the 5 step recommended process to carry out a risk assessment.

Please note that learners undertaking a ProTrainings Trainings Course have the option to choose to take a regulated qualification.

ProTrainings Europe is proud sponsors of Backcare who aim to significantly reduce the burden of back pain by providing information and advice to all people and organisations affected by back pain.

Our Pro-trainings online platform is super simple to navigate. Watch the video lessons at your own pace, pause and resume when it suits you. Answer the incremental multiple-choice questions throughout the course and when you have completed all the lessons, you will be directed to the final assessment.

To make sure you really learn and retain the information, test questions are randomised and video remediation following the final assessment is customised to you.
