MANUAL HANDLING TRAINING · NORTH EAST & UK GROUP BOOKINGS

MOVE THE LOAD.
CONTROL THE RISK.

Practical manual handling training built around the loads, movements and working conditions your people actually face.

TRAIN FOR THE TASK

Not just
the classroom.

Lifting, lowering, carrying, pushing or pulling: start with what the job really involves.

We can use your workplace tasks, equipment and risk assessments to make the session relevant. The aim is to help people recognise when a task can be handled safely, when the method needs to change and when they should stop and ask for help.

  • Recognising the task, individual, load and environmental factors.
  • Planning the movement before handling starts.
  • Using suitable handling aids and team-handling arrangements.
  • Applying practical handling principles to relevant workplace tasks.
  • Knowing when a load, route or method is not suitable.

Training supports safer work. It does not make a poorly designed task safe, so we will also highlight where equipment, layout, storage or the working method may need attention.

STRAIGHT ANSWERS

Before you book.

Can the training take place at our workplace?

Yes. Workplace delivery often makes the session more relevant because we can discuss the loads, routes and handling aids your team uses. We will confirm suitable space and practical arrangements first.

What does manual handling training cover?

The agreed session can cover risk factors, planning the task, practical handling principles, use of aids, team handling and knowing when the method must change. The precise content depends on your work and the level of practical participation required.

Does training replace a manual handling risk assessment?

No. Employers must first avoid hazardous manual handling where reasonably practicable and assess what cannot be avoided. Training is one control and should sit alongside suitable equipment, layout, staffing and working methods.

Will learners receive a certificate or record?

We confirm the course type, assessment and certificate or attendance record before you book. We will be clear about exactly what is included.

How much does it cost?

We quote according to the agreed content, group size, location and practical setup. You receive the scope and price before booking.
