What this online course does and does not replace
This online course supports awareness and understanding of safe manual handling principles, correct lifting technique, common hazards and your responsibilities at work. You finish with a recognised Manual Handling Certificate you can show an employer.
Employers may still need to provide task-specific training, supervision and a written manual handling risk assessment for the actual loads and tasks in your workplace. Workers should always follow their employer's procedures, on-site manual handling assessments and internal safety rules. This course does not automatically replace workplace-specific training or practical instruction where these are required by the role.
