Manual Handling Training (Online)

Safe lifting, carrying, pushing and pulling — 90 minutes online, CPD and RoSPA accredited, supporting compliance with the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992.

Course Overview

Poor manual handling is one of the biggest causes of workplace injury in the UK, and the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 require employers to train staff whose work involves lifting, carrying, pushing or pulling.

This 90-minute online course teaches the techniques that prevent injuries — how to assess a load before touching it, lift and carry safely, use mechanical aids, and spot the risks in everyday tasks. It's fully self-paced on any device, with a multiple-choice assessment (80% pass mark, free retakes) and an instant digital certificate on completion.

Like our fire e-learning, this is online training rather than on site delivery — a fast, low-cost way to cover whole teams, with bulk discounts from 10+ enrolments.
