The Manual Handling Blended Training Course is designed for any person who undertakes any form of manual handling in the workplace. Simple moving and handling situations require awareness of the hazards and an understanding of the need for best practices to reduce the risk to the individual and the organisation. As over 30% of the accidents/incidents reported to the Health and Safety Authority (HSA) on an annual basis are due to moving and handling accidents, it is necessary to take a proactive approach to the issue.
