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.

From Dublin's construction cranes and Cork's pharma plants to Galway's medtech campuses, Limerick's manufacturing belt and the farms, hotels, warehouses and hospitals in every county between, Irish workplaces run on certified, compliant staff. Every course on this page is open to learners in Dublin, Cork and Galway and anywhere across every county in Ireland, with the same certificate accepted across Ireland, the UK and Europe.
A claim is easy to make and hard to check, so everything here can be checked. The courses are CPD certified and RoSPA approved, they follow HSA guidance, the reviews come from Google and each certificate is confirmed online by its code.
The legal ground is Section 10 of the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005: employers in Ireland train their employees for the hazards of the work. Each course on this page delivers that training online and closes with a dated certificate that an inspector, an insurer or a client can verify.

Why Choose Us
Recognised Safety Training: 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. Recognised Safety Training 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.
A certificate is only worth what can be checked. This one carries a unique code that confirms the holder, the course and the date online, it is CPD certified and RoSPA approved, and it stays in your account to download again at any time.
The price on each course card is the whole price: the course, the assessment, every retake and the certificate. Nothing is added at checkout, there is no fee to download the certificate again and volume discounts apply automatically when several people are booked together.
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.
For an employer in Ireland, the work is done from one screen: add staff by email, assign the courses, watch who has finished and download every certificate. The Employer Dashboard is free, renewal dates are tracked for you and volume discounts apply automatically.
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.
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
Our Manual Handling Course is QQI accredited, CPD certified and RoSPA approved. Your Manual Handling Certificate is valid for 3 years and recognised by employers across Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick, Waterford, Drogheda and all of Ireland, the UK and Europe.
