Who Should Take This Manual Handling Training Course?
The manual handling course is aimed at all levels of employees who may undertake
manual handling operations.
Manual handling accidents account for more than a third of all accidents reported
each year to the enforcing authorities. It is estimated that in excess of 500,000
people in Great Britain suffer from a musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) mainly affecting
the upper limbs or neck that was caused, or made worse, by their current or past
work.
After carrying out a risk assessment, the employer must take appropriate steps to
reduce the risks of injury from manual handling. Developed by a leading British
Safety Council member with over 30 years’ experience as a health and safety professional,
High Speed Training offers an online Manual Handling Awareness Course specifically
designed to provide the relevant information and training that will ensure the good
practice that will minimise the risk from manual handling injuries.

Do You Comply With The Manual Handling Operations Regulations?
The Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 require employers to ensure that all sources of risk are dealt with appropriately. If risk of a manual handling injury is foreseen, organisations must:
- Avoid the need for hazardous manual handling so far as is reasonably practicable.
- Assess the risk of injury from any hazardous manual handling that cannot be avoided.
- Reduce the risk of injury from hazardous manual handling, so far as is reasonably practicable.
Employees that lift, lower, carry, push or pull loads will typically require awareness training.
Manual handling accidents account for more than a third of all accidents reported each year to the enforcing authorities. It is estimated that around 9 million working days (full-day equivalent) are lost each year through Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) that are caused or made worse by work.
