A CPD-standard Level 1 Manual Handling course for any UK workplace.

Enrolment opens September 2026
This course is with CPD for accreditation review. We are not taking enrolments until that is complete, so every certificate we issue carries the accreditation from day one.
Description
Practical manual handling awareness for any UK workplace where people lift, carry, push or pull. Six lessons take you through what manual handling actually covers and how injuries happen; the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 and the Avoid-Assess-Reduce hierarchy of control; the T.I.L.E. risk-assessment framework and the dynamic, on-the-spot check every worker should run before a lift; ergonomics, mechanical aids and the case for pushing over pulling; and the full mechanics of a safe lift, from planning and posture through to team lifting and awkward loads. Assessments are randomised, the final exam draws 20 questions from a bank of 40, and a personalised CPD-standard certificate is issued the moment you pass. Note: this is a knowledge-based awareness course. It supports but does not replace task-specific practical training or a workplace manual handling risk assessment where those are required.
