Manual handling involves one or more employees moving or supporting loads. This process includes lifting, pushing, pulling, lowering, carrying, or shifting a load. Manual handling causes more than one-third of all occupational injuries, such as Musculoskeletal disorders and repetitive strain injuries (MSDs). This Manual Handling course will teach you which work tasks require manual handling and how to keep yourself safe.
During the course, you will learn what manual handling is and what types of work activities fall under it. You’ll be aware of who falls into the category of possible risk individuals as well as the injuries that can result from manual handling. According to the legislation governing manual handling operations, an employer must evaluate manual handling tasks with a risk of injury. We’ll show you how to assure safety by taking precautions following the potential risk. Along with other topics, you will also learn about how to manual handle safely in a confined space and the legislation on confined working spaces.

The majority of institutions and professional organisations establish Continuing Professional Development (CPD) goals, typically on an annual basis. These objectives are determined by accumulating CPD activities, which include participating in training courses, eLearning programs, events, and other structured learning experiences.
Most professional bodies employ CPD hours as their primary metric, and when CPD points or credits are utilised, they are typically in a direct 1:1 correlation with CPD hours. In simpler terms, one CPD point equates to one CPD hour.
