What Irish Law Expects, and What This Manual Handling Course Delivers
Manual handling is still the single biggest cause of injury reported to the Health and Safety Authority every year. Backs, shoulders and knees give out slowly, from ordinary lifting done the wrong way, and almost none of it had to happen. This Manual Handling Course is written line by line against that law, so the certificate you download at the end stands up in a real inspection instead of just looking good in a folder.
We are the official provider Irish employers come back to for manual handling, and the course reflects that. Every technique is filmed from the angles that matter, illustrated on screen, and written in simple, clear language so nothing is left to guesswork.

The three rules that shape your training
-
Regulation 69
Your employer has to train you
Every handling task that cannot be designed out of the job has to be risk assessed, and everyone who performs it has to be trained. No business is too small to be covered.
-
Section 13
You have to use that training
Once you are trained, part of the duty moves to you. You have to work in a way that protects your own back and the people beside you, and use the lifting aids you are given.

HSA guidance
A practical has to be included
Theory on its own is not enough. That is why your practical video assessment sits inside the course price here, and is never sold to you as an extra later.
