Who is the online manual handling training for?

Online manual handling training is designed for a wide range of individuals, primarily those who regularly or occasionally engage in tasks involving:

  • Lifting: This means picking up things of any size or weight, like boxes and packages or furniture and equipment.
  • Lowering: Carefully putting things down from a raised position.
  • Carrying: Taking things from one place to another by hand.
  • Pushing: Using force to move things horizontally.
  • Pulling: Applying force to move things towards yourself.

Therefore, this training is beneficial for individuals working in various sectors, including:

  • Logistics and Warehousing: Workers involved in loading, unloading, and transporting goods.
  • Construction: Personnel handling building materials, tools, and equipment.
  • Manufacturing: Employees lifting and moving components, materials, and finished products.
  • Retail: Staff stocking shelves, carrying customer purchases, and moving inventory.
  • Office workers: Individuals who occasionally need to lift and move heavy objects like files, boxes, and equipment.
  • Delivery Drivers: Workers responsible for loading, unloading, and carrying packages.
  • Agricultural Workers: Individuals handling seeds, crops, and farm equipment.

Also, some online courses might be for specific jobs like nurses, caregivers, and social workers who might need to lift and handle people with limited mobility. But, for these special needs, “moving and handling” training might be better.

Remember, in many countries, bosses must give manual handling training to employees at risk of getting hurt from these tasks.

Overall, online manual handling training makes it easy for people and organisations to meet these requirements and make sure work is safe.
