Overview

Delegates will gain an understanding of the process of lifting and moving, be able to identify risks and determine the safest method of handling without injury.

This course will meet the needs of anyone whose work involves lifting or moving loads. The Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 require all employers to carry out training for staff who lift or move loads. This course helps to ensure that you comply with this legislation.
