Manual Handling Training

Under Irish legislation, employees are required to complete Manual Handling training to ensure they can lift and move loads safely. Our online Manual Handling course supports employers in meeting their legal obligations under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act and the Manual Handling of Loads Regulations (General Application 2007), while encouraging a safer working environment.

This training is suitable for staff in all sectors and provides essential knowledge on safe lifting practices and proper manual handling techniques.

To obtain full certification, learners must complete a short practical assessment. This can be arranged either in person or remotely via Zoom. We offer assessment sessions each week, led by qualified QQI Level 6 instructors.
