Mastering Manual Handling: Essential Training for Compliance with Irish Legislation

In today’s dynamic workplace, understanding manual handling legislation is crucial for ensuring safety and compliance. Manual handling injuries remain one of the leading causes of workplace accidents in Ireland, emphasizing the need for comprehensive training. This blog post delves into the importance of manual handling training, the relevant legislation in Ireland, and how our training program offers affordable, practical solutions.

Understanding Manual Handling Legislation in Ireland

Manual handling refers to any activity that involves lifting, carrying, pushing, or pulling loads. According to Health and Safety Authority (HSA), manual handling legislation in the workplace is governed by the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 and the Manual Handling of Loads Regulations 2007. Employers in Dublin, Cork, Galway, and beyond must comply with these legal requirements to protect their employees.
