Manual Handling and Lifting Safely

1 Lesson

Everyday lifting and moving tasks might seem simple — but they’re one of the biggest causes of workplace injury. This interactive course gives employees the knowledge and confidence to handle loads safely, avoid strain, and protect themselves and others.

Learners will explore how to plan a lift, assess risks, and use safe body mechanics to prevent back and joint injuries. The course also covers when to use mechanical aids or ask for help, what the law requires, and why early reporting of discomfort is vital.

Practical, accessible, and relevant for any industry, this short module helps build the everyday habits that keep people safe and productive.
