4 modules covering everything you need to handle loads safely and comply with Irish HSA regulations.
Types of injury — immediate injuries and musculoskeletal disorders. Understanding how improper manual handling causes long-term damage.
Identifying hazards, TILE methodology, factors that increase risk, evaluating risks, recording findings, and reviewing your assessment.
Employer duties, avoiding manual handling where possible, reducing risk, team handling, mechanical aids, and personal protective equipment.
Correct lifting and lowering techniques, safe weight guidelines, carrying, pushing and pulling, and safe team handling practices.
This course is built around the legislation that governs manual handling in Irish workplaces.
Places a general duty on employers to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the safety, health and welfare of employees — including preventing risk of injury from manual handling — and a duty on employees to take reasonable care.
Chapter 4 of Part 2 specifically covers manual handling. Employers must avoid hazardous manual handling where reasonably practicable, and where it cannot be avoided, carry out a risk assessment and provide training and information.
Irish guidance requires every manual handling activity to be assessed against the Task, Individual, Load and Environment (TILE) — the core risk-assessment method taught in this course.
The Health and Safety Authority (HSA) publishes Manual Handling guidance and recommends training for everyone who regularly lifts, lowers, pushes, pulls or carries loads at work.

Very good, very easy to use, I learned a lot. The course was clear and well laid out. Certificate arrived immediately after uploading my video.
Needed the cert urgently for a new job. Did the course in 25 minutes, uploaded my video, had the certificate within the hour. Highly recommend.
Bought for our 45 construction workers. The admin panel makes tracking effortless. Saved us over €2,000 compared to sending everyone to classroom training.
To receive your full Manual Handling certificate, you must complete and pass a short practical assessment in addition to the theory section. This requirement is in place to ensure your safety and may play an important role in protecting your long-term health.
After completing the theory modules and passing the theory test, you'll be asked to upload a short video demonstrating the correct technique for lifting a box. The video must be no longer than 1 minute and the file size under 100MB. If you don't have a suitable box, you may use any appropriate object as the load.
