Manual Handling training is essential for employers to comply with the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 (as amended) in the UK.
This legislation requires employers to assess the risks associated with manual handling tasks and take appropriate measures to avoid or reduce those risks.
By providing employees with Manual Handling training, employers ensure they understand how to lift, carry, and move objects safely to prevent injuries. This contributes to legal compliance, promotes a safe working environment, and reduces the risk of musculoskeletal disorders among workers.

Manual Handling Awareness FAQ
Manual Handling Awareness FAQ
A manual handling course teaches safe techniques for lifting, carrying, pushing, or pulling loads at work. It helps prevent injury and promotes good workplace health.
How long does a manual handling certificate last?
Most manual handling certificates don’t have a legal expiry date, but it’s recommended to refresh your training every 12 to 36 months, depending on your job role and risk level.
Is manual handling training online acceptable for workplace compliance?
Yes. Many employers now accept manual handling e-learning as part of their health and safety training, provided it covers key principles and is supported by practical guidance on site.
What’s the difference between manual handling and moving and handling training?
Manual handling focuses on objects and loads, while moving and handling training often refers to supporting people (common in care settings). Both aim to reduce risk of injury.
How much does a manual handling course cost?
The price varies depending on the format (online or practical), provider, and whether it includes certification. Online manual handling training is usually more affordable and flexible.
Does the training cover use of lifting aids?
Yes. The course highlights when and how to use equipment like trolleys, hoists, or pallet trucks to minimise manual effort and reduce risk.
How often should manual handling training be given in the UK?
There’s no set legal timeframe, but HSE recommends regular refreshers, especially if tasks change, equipment changes, or new risks are identified. High-risk environments may need annual updates.
Will I get a manual handling training certificate?
Yes. A certificate is awarded after completion, suitable for compliance files, audits, or personal CPD records.
