The Manual Handling in the Workplace Course provides the necessary information and training for individuals and organisations to understand more about the risks associated with manual handling and how to implement appropriate control measures.

Under the Manual Handling Operations Regulations, 1992 employers are required to ensure that all employees are trained and competent in manual handling.  Manual handling accidents account for more than a third of all accidents reported each year.

This course can also be used as a valuable part of a school, or other educational program.

COURSE DURATION.

The estimated duration of the Manual Handling in the Workplace Course is 2 hours. Candidates may log in and out of the system and therefore do not need to complete the course in a single sitting. Learner course progress is automatically saved, so that they may return to the course whenever they wish and as a result course completion is entirely in the hands of the learner.

COURSE ACCESS.

Learners receive 90 days of access to the Manual Handling in the Workplace Course materials from the date of registration, therefore the course can be completed straightaway or at one’s leisure.  Learners receive individual login details and can access the course using any device, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.  This provides learners with the flexibility to train on the go, whenever and wherever they wish and as a result provides a more economical training option for businesses small and large.

Candidates who are registered by their manager using the GROUP option will receive 90 days of course access from the date an account is assigned to them, therefore allowing businesses to purchase multiple user accounts, safe in the knowledge that they will not expire until they are assigned to learners.

Course access ceases immediately following a successful final exam submission, thereafter course materials can not be viewed.

COURSE CONTENT.

The Manual Handling in the Workplace Course consists of 3 core units, concluded by a final exam:

UNIT 1 – REASONS FOR SAFE MANUAL HANDLING.
UNIT 2 – MANUAL HANDLING RISK ASSESSMENTS.
UNIT 3 – PRINCIPLES, EQUIPMENT AND TESTING.

Each unit consists of topics and interim quizzes which must be completed before progress.  At each stage, learners must click a ‘MARK COMPLETE’ button to progress. This serves as a means by which course progress can be tracked and is particularly useful in situations where learners are enrolled by a manager.

The use of clearly defined Units and Topics provides candidates with a structured framework which allows them to set achievement targets as they progress through the course.  Each section of the course is marked with a green check following completion, which allows learners to leave and then easily recommence training.

At the end of the Manual Handling in the Workplace Course, learners will be able to:

• Define manual handling.
• State relevant legislation.

• Apply the principles of safe lifting when completing the practical examination.

Achievement of these course aims will provide learners and their employers with a degree of confidence that safety levels in the particular work environment have been enhanced.  Additionally, the receipt of an approved certificate will serve as a recognition of learner achievement and also provide proof if necessary of regulatory compliance.
