Course Overview

The EUSR-Accredited Manual Handling course provides essential training for anyone who performs manual lifting, carrying, pushing, or pulling tasks as part of their daily work. Poor manual handling is one of the leading causes of workplace injuries, and the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) continues to highlight the need for competent training, effective risk assessment, and correct lifting techniques across all industries.

This accredited programme helps employers meet their legal obligations under the Manual Handling Operations Regulations (MHOR) 1992, ensuring staff receive appropriate training to identify hazards, prevent injuries, and adopt safe manual handling habits. Suitable for individuals, teams, and workforce-wide training, the course is relevant to construction, utilities, warehousing, manufacturing, facilities management, and any environment where physical handling tasks occur.

Delivered through a combination of theory and hands-on practical demonstrations, this course improves awareness of musculoskeletal risks, strengthens safe working behaviours, and builds confidence in applying correct lifting techniques. Learners who successfully complete the training will be awarded an EUSR registration, demonstrating recognised, industry-standard competence.
