This Level 2 Regulated Course teaches you all about the reasons why safe moving and handling is necessary.
The Manual Handling Operations Regulations, updated in 2002, no longer specify weight limits for lifting and carrying loads. Instead, they mandate that employees must possess adequate knowledge or training to assess whether safe handling is feasible. These regulations apply universally, spanning from office settings to care facilities and factories. Each sector carries unique risks, addressed comprehensively in this accredited qualification. Key learning outcomes encompass understanding the rationale behind safe handling, conducting risk assessments, grasping the principles of manual handling safety, and applying manual handling skills securely. This qualification ensures that employees comprehend their duties and grasp the fundamentals of safe load handling. Please note that the minimum age requirement for the classroom course is 16.
The content of this and all our courses has been independently certified as conforming to universally accepted Continuous Professional Development (CPD) guidelines and come with a Certified CPD Statement as well as a ProTrainings Certificate and for online courses an Evidence Based Learning statement.
This course gives learners the opportunity to gain a formally recognised regulated qualification. If you require funding, a regulated qualification is often required. Phone us and we can advise if needed. If you choose our course leading to a regulated qualification, there are additional assessment criteria to be undertaken with an instructor and a small extra certification charge.
