Level 1 Manual Handling (CPD)

This is a CPD-standard manual handling awareness course that builds knowledge and safe-handling habits. It supports, but does not replace, task-specific practical training or your workplace's own manual handling risk assessment where these are required.

Around 1–2 hours. It's six short lessons across three modules that you take at your own pace on any device, and your progress is saved as you go.

Yes. Pass the assessments and your personalised CPD-standard certificate — with your name, the course title and a verifiable reference code — is issued instantly to your account.

What manual handling is and how it injures the spine; the law (MHOR 1992 and the Avoid–Assess–Reduce hierarchy); the T.I.L.E. risk-assessment framework; mechanical aids and safe pushing and pulling; and the full safe-lifting technique, including team lifting and awkward loads.

Anyone who lifts, carries, pushes or pulls at work — warehousing, logistics, retail, healthcare, construction and office staff — plus the supervisors and managers responsible for handling risk assessments. No prior training is needed.
