Level 2 Principles of Manual Handling

This theory-based training course is ideal for all employees in the workplace as it provides individuals with the basic knowledge and the awareness of safe manual handling practices and the risks of unsafe manual handling. 

During the course, there will be a range of learning styles incorporated to maximise your learning experience. There will be a multiple-choice examination at the end of the course to test your knowledge. Upon successful completion of the course, each delegate will have the knowledge, confidence, and certification to go to their workplace and apply what they have learned to minimise the risk of unsafe manual handling.

Refresher training is recommended every 3 years which will be a half-day course to refresh and update your manual handling knowledge.
