About the MH course

Manual handling injuries build up quietly — a strain here, a bad lift there — until they become the back problem that ends a career. This half-day course covers what the Manual Handling Operations Regulations require, how the body is injured, assessing loads before lifting and the practical technique that keeps the spine safe, practised with real loads rather than demonstrated from a slide.

MH questions

Can it be tailored to our tasks?

Yes. On-site sessions can be built around the loads your teams actually handle.

How long does manual handling training take?

A half day is typical for construction teams, including practical lifting technique.

Is it a legal requirement?

The Manual Handling Operations Regulations require employers to reduce risk and provide information and training where handling cannot be avoided.

Can you train a full crew at once?

Yes. On-site group sessions are the most cost-effective option and can be run around your shift pattern.
