Manual Handling Level 2

Manual Handling Level 2 Course is designed to give employers and their employees an awareness of the risks of injury from manual handling operations.

Any job that involves heavy labour or manual material handling may include a high risk for injury on the job. Manual material handling not only entails lifting, but also usually includes climbing, pushing, pulling, and pivoting, all of which pose the risk of injury. In conclusion, the most commonly reported workplace accidents and illness involved injuries are a result of not being aware of basic manual handling techniques.

It highlights useful information and practical techniques required for managing and carrying out safe activities.

The course follows the requirements of the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 (MHOR).
