100% Real Verified Reviews
A Word Between Friends
Let's be honest with you. The internet is full of scam training websites and reviews no real customer wrote. That's why we do the opposite. Every review we have comes from a real person who took a real course with us. No fakes. No hidden feedback. They are all on Google Maps, where we can't edit or rewrite them. Be especially careful with scam websites showing reviews that appear to come from platforms such as Reviews.io. Reviews displayed on their own website may be fake, because the website owner can add, edit or fabricate them directly in the site code. Always verify the business on Google Maps instead. Today, we hold the No.1 spot across Ireland, with more real reviews than any other health and safety training company, built on 30 years of real work at honest prices. You don't have to take our word for it. Just tap the Verify us on Google button below and read every review.

Yes. The certificate is CPD certified and RoSPA approved, and its code confirms the holder, the course and the date online.

Why Choose Us
Health and Safety Induction: Why Choose Irish Manual Handling
Discover why thousands of learners and businesses across Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick and all of Ireland trust Irish Manual Handling for their Manual Handling needs. Our Manual Handling Courses deliver quality, flexibility, and a recognised Manual Handling Certificate.
Employers in Ireland, from construction and pharma to healthcare, hospitality, logistics and agriculture, ask for proof of training they can check, not a promise. Health and Safety Induction at Irish Manual Handling ends in exactly that: a CPD certified, RoSPA approved certificate with a code anyone can verify, accepted across Ireland, the UK and Europe.
The training fits around the working day instead of replacing it. A course opens at once, runs on whatever device is to hand and keeps your place, so a night shift, a split shift or a free half hour is enough to make progress.
The duty behind every course here is the one in Section 10 of the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005: employees are trained for the hazards of their work. The content follows HSA guidance in plain language, and the result is the evidence an inspector, an insurer or a client asks for.
The certificate is issued the moment the assessment is passed: CPD certified, RoSPA approved, with your name, the course, the date and a unique code. An employer, an inspector or an insurer checks that code online in seconds, and the certificate downloads again from your account whenever it is needed.
Speed matters when a job or a site is waiting. Enrol now, study straight away and hold the certificate the moment the assessment is passed: there is no class to wait for and no post to wait on.
Most jobs call for more than one certificate. Here they sit in one account, from manual handling and manual handling theory to working at heights and abrasive wheels: add a course when the work changes, keep every certificate together and renew each before its date.
Essential Knowledge
What is Manual Handling?
The training every Irish workplace needs to lift safely, prevent injury, and stay compliant with the law.
Manual Handling refers to any activity that involves lifting, lowering, pushing, pulling, carrying or moving a load by hand or bodily force. Under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (General Application) Regulations 2007, Irish employers are legally required to assess manual handling risks and provide appropriate Manual Handling Training to all employees who perform these tasks. The key principles of manual handling include planning the lift, keeping the load close to the body, bending at the knees, avoiding twisting, and using the TILE risk assessment method (Task, Individual, Load, Environment).
Manual handling injuries are among the most common causes of workplace injury in Ireland, accounting for over a third of all injuries reported to the HSA each year. Back injuries, sprains, strains and musculoskeletal disorders can all result from incorrect lifting techniques. Completing a Manual Handling Course is not just a legal requirement. It is essential for protecting your health, preventing injury, and advancing your career.
Manual Handling Training, Irish Legal Requirement
Under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (General Application) Regulations 2007, Irish employers must provide Manual Handling Training to all employees whose work involves lifting and moving loads. A recognised Manual Handling Course keeps your workplace compliant and avoids HSA enforcement action and fines.
A Certificate Accredited by QQI
