Manual Handling Training

Irish law requires all employees to complete Manual Handling training to safely lift and move loads. Our online Manual Handling course helps businesses comply with the Safety, Health, and Welfare Act and the Manual Handling of Loads Regulations (General Applications 2007) while promoting workplace safety.

Our Manual Handling Training Course is designed for employees across all industries, equipping them with best practices for safe lifting and manual handling techniques.
