Online Manual Handling Course With Video Upload 

This online manual handling course is suitable for all employees, where those employees are involved in manual handling. Section 10, of the Safety Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005, states all employers are required to provide health and safety training to their employees. If you are required to carry out lifting activities at work, and where manual handling is likely to result in injury particularly to your back, as a result of the characteristics of the load, the working environment or the ergonomics. Well then, you must undergo manual handling training. This training must be relevant to the tasks you carry out and must cover law, anatomy, injury, risk assessment and practical lifting techniques. This course has been designed to meet the requirements of the Health and Safety Authority "Guide for Manual Handling" and covers the exact requirements of legislation and HSA guidance.

This course is designed in two parts. The first part covers manual handling theory with an emphasis on law, anatomy, injury and risk assessment. You will be shown a range of lifting techniques that can be applied and adapted to any work situation. Once you review our lifting videos, you are expected to practice these lifts at work or at home, and then take videos of yourself performing three different lifts. You are given an option of lifting from and to the ground, to and from a bench, to and from a height, lifting an awkward load and/or pushing and pulling. You will select any three of those manual handling activities and video yourself performing them. You will then upload your three videos into the course platform, to be reviewed by our QQI level VI qualified manual handling instructor.
