The EssentialSkillz Manual Handling online training covers lifting and lowering, carrying, pushing and pulling. It provides an introduction to the anatomy of the back so that learners can understand the importance of avoiding hazardous handling approaches, and work out which of the handling tasks they carry out could put an undesirable strain on their bodies.
This Manual Handling Online Training course takes on average 30 minutes to complete.
The online Manual Handling course explains how to use TILEO (Task, Individual, Load, Environment, Other Factors) to assess the risks of a handling task, and to plan the work to reduce the risk. The principles of good lifting technique are covered, with illustrations to show examples of good practice.
Typical problems with lifting are explained, to help learners avoid these problems (for example, handling slippery loads, twisting at the same time as lifting or lowering). Examples of specific types of lift (team lifts, lifting into a car boot, lifting while seated, two-stage lift) are included.
Where manual handling is a significant element of an individual’s job role, it is recommended that this course is used as part of a blended learning approach, for example as preparation for a skills-based practical course, or as a refresher of the key points. RoSPA recommends our course to be combined with face-to-face training to provide users with all around skills and knowledge. Also, while the test provides evidence of understanding the information provided in the course, it is recommended for understanding to be assessed by a competent person observing the individual carrying out handling in the workplace

A designated course administrator can edit the text and images within the course, and link to organisation-specific documentation, all at no extra cost.
