Overview

The Level 2 Manual Handling Training Course provides learners with essential knowledge and awareness of safer manual handling practices and the risks associated with lifting, lowering, carrying, pushing, pulling and moving loads in the workplace. Manual handling activities are common across many industries. Poorly planned or inappropriate handling techniques can contribute to musculoskeletal injuries affecting the back, joints and limbs, particularly where tasks involve heavy or awkward loads, repetitive movements, unsuitable working environments or individual capability factors.

Course Content and Learning Outcomes

  • Identify manual handling: Recognise lifting, lowering, carrying, pushing and pulling risks.
  • Apply the prevention sequence: Explain avoidance, assessment and risk reduction.
  • Assess the situation: Consider the task, individual, load and environment.
  • Choose appropriate controls: Distinguish handling aids and task redesign from reliance on technique.
  • Respond safely: Explain safe stopping, reporting and the limits of your role.
For your starting task, describe one object that is commonly moved at work. Without touching it, note why its shape, route or frequency of movement might matter as much as its weight.

Duration and Delivery

There is the possibility for the course to be modified in accordance with the client, including amendments to its name.

Assessment and Completion

Students complete a 20-question multiple-choice evaluation at the conclusion of the course. A pass mark of 80% is needed, and marks are automatically provided with quick feedback. There is no maximum on how many times the assessment can be repeated to accomplish a pass, with no extra charge.
