The ‘Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 (MHOR)’ require that employers avoid, assess, and reduce the risk of injury from manual handling at work. In providing training for your employees, you are ensuring that you comply with UK Health and Safety legislation.
TSW’s manual handling course is aligned to the MHOR regulations and will raise awareness and reduce risk in your organisation. It will provide your workers with the required knowledge on the risk factors and how injuries can happen, and how to carry out safe manual handling, including good handling techniques.

At TSW we offer a range of accredited and non-accredited manual handling courses, all available as a classroom or online course. Our courses include:
As the HSE state, “the content of any training in good handling technique should be tailored to the tasks the workers carry out”. At TSW we work with you to ensure we understand your business and provide manual handling training that is tailored to your specific circumstances.
If your business needs to train a large number of people in manual handling, then a great option is to develop in-house trainers than have the ability to train others in the organisation.
To develop your own in-company trainers we offer:
Typical course length is between half a day and a full day, dependent on specific requirements. Courses range from awareness courses to more practical on-site training.
We recommend that manual handling refresher training is conducted at least every two years for all individuals who have an involvement in manual handling. In addition to this, training should be considered when:
An organisation should conduct a full training needs analysis using information from manual handling risk assessments. A training plan should be implemented that ensures all employees are provided with the information and training they need to complete their work safely.
This course can be delivered exclusively for your organisation, in any location or virtually through Microsoft Teams or Zoom. Read more on our in-house training services.
