7) Certificate Validity, Renewal & CPD Hours

Understanding Manual Handling Certificate validity is essential for maintaining compliance. Here is what you need to know about renewal and CPD hours:

• Certificate validity: For Manual Handling Training, there is no fixed legal expiry under Irish law. However, the HSA recommends regular refresher training, and most employers set renewal intervals of 2-3 years based on risk assessments.
• Manual Handling Refresher: We recommend completing a Manual Handling Refresher course every 2-3 years to maintain competence and stay current with best practices. Many employers in Dublin and Ireland require this as standard policy.
• CPD hours: Where courses carry Continuing Professional Development credit, the number of hours is clearly listed on the course page and printed on your Manual Handling Certificate.
• Employer discretion: Employers may set shorter renewal intervals based on their specific risk assessments, workplace hazards, or internal policy requirements.
• High-risk environments: For workers in construction, logistics, or healthcare roles with intensive manual handling, more frequent Manual Handling Refresher training may be appropriate.

Keep your Manual Handling Cert on file and track your renewal date. Our platform can help remind you when Manual Handling Refresher training is due, ensuring continuous compliance for organisations across Ireland.
