About this course

Being competent in safe Manual Handling is a legal requirement for your workplace, and this course provides everything you need to know – specifically addressing the task of moving and lifting tyres.

This Manual Handling course introduces the importance of safe manual handling in the workplace; essentially, this means the task of moving, lifting and transporting potentially heavy objects. It covers safe techniques for moving and lifting (including LITE), as well as looking at the anatomy of your back – helping you understand why it is so important to adopt best practice for lifting heavy or awkwardly shaped objects.

An estimated 909,000 working days are lost every year due to poor manual handling techniques. Poor manual handling also contributes to around 24% of injuries reported to RIDDOR. Ensure best practices and understand responsibilities for both employees and employers with our online course – It only takes 40 minutes to complete!

This course is an extended version of our best-selling Manual Handling Training programme, and is particularly suited to those working around tyres; whether it’s mechanics, tyre manufacturers or fleet managers.

A fairly useful course to attend

I found this course to be fairly useful to know, especially as it states that you use manual handling in situations, not only at the workplace, but in everyday life.

Why is this training important?

Compliance

It’s important that you comply with the law and know the ways in which it affects you and the way you work.

What are The Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992?

The Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 or MHOR defines manual handling as “Any transporting or supporting of a load by hand or bodily force”, this also includes lifting, pushing, putting down, pulling and carrying. They are a set of regulations designed to reduce the risk of injury to workers when manual handling by as much as possible.

Council Directive 90/269/EEC of 29th May 1990 on the minimum health and safety requirements for the manual handling of loads where there is a risk particularly of back injury to workers.

Employers must ensure that workers receive proper training and information on how to handle loads correctly, and the risks they might be open to – particularly if these tasks are not performed correctly

Council Directive 90/269/EEC, Article 6, Section 2
