Understanding Manual Handling Accreditation in Ireland

Unlike some qualifications such as QQI awards, Manual Handling Training does not have a single national accreditation body. The HSA does not "accredit" individual courses, but it does set out requirements for what training should cover.

A compliant Manual Handling Course should cover:

  1. Legal requirements - Irish health and safety law relating to manual handling
  2. Risk assessment - The TILE method for assessing manual handling tasks
  3. Injury types - Understanding how manual handling injuries occur
  4. Safe techniques - Proper methods for lifting, carrying, pushing, and pulling
  5. Assessment - Verification that learners understand the content

Our course covers all these elements and more, ensuring you receive comprehensive training that meets workplace requirements.

The key test is not which logo appears on the certificate, but whether the training genuinely prepares workers to handle loads safely. Our course delivers real knowledge, not just a piece of paper.

Why Accreditation Matters

For employers, using accredited training demonstrates due diligence in meeting their legal obligations. If a manual handling injury occurs, being able to show that staff received proper accredited training is important for compliance and insurance purposes.

For workers, an accredited certificate provides credibility when applying for jobs. Recruitment agencies and employers look for recognised training that proves you have the knowledge needed to work safely.
