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.

Why Choose Us

Training Courses for Employers: 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. Training Courses for Employers 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.

Employers train a team in Ireland without a spreadsheet. The free Employer Dashboard holds the staff list, the courses assigned, the progress of each person and every certificate with its renewal date, and one invoice covers the order.

There is one price and it is on the card. It covers the course, the assessment, every retake and the certificate, and nothing is added at checkout. Orders for several people are discounted automatically.

Training is a legal duty before it is a certificate. Section 10 of the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 asks employers in Ireland to train employees for the hazards of their work, and the courses here are written to HSA guidance so that the certificate at the end stands as the record of that training.

One account holds every course a job calls for, from manual handling and manual handling theory to working at heights and abrasive wheels. Courses are added in a click, each keeps its own certificate and renewal date, and an employer sees them all side by side in the dashboard.

Nothing has to be booked. The course is there at any hour, on the phone in your pocket or the computer at work, and it remembers where you stopped, so training happens when the work allows it.

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.

Manual Handling Course Online, 45 Minutes

Complete your Manual Handling Training online in as little as 45 minutes, at your own pace, on any device, anywhere in Ireland. Your Manual Handling Certificate is ready to download the moment you pass. No classroom needed.

Whether you need your first Manual Handling Course, a Manual Handling Refresher to renew your certificate, or Manual Handling Training for professional development, Irish Manual Handling has you covered. Our accredited training covers safe lifting techniques, the principles of manual handling, the TILE risk assessment framework, manual handling injury prevention, Irish and EU legislation, and practical workplace scenarios across healthcare, construction, warehouse and logistics, retail, hospitality and office environments.
