Business owners gain peace of mind, knowing that staff have had the correct training to help to mitigate potential lawsuits from injuries incurred through improper manual handling.
Offered in a clear and easy to follow format, the course is fully accredited by The CPD Group and is completely aligned with all the most up to date UK regulations around manual handling. The course takes roughly 1 – 2 hours to complete and is followed by an exam which consists of 25 multiple choice questions.

Employees can experience injury from something as simple as lifting a heavy box or moving an office desk just once – even if such activity isn’t a regular part of the day job. This can result in an unwelcome lawsuit. We therefore recommend that all UK employers ensure that 100% of their onsite workforce is adequately training in manual handling.
