OHSS Occupational Safety Training: Manual Handling

30 Jun 2023

When it comes to health and safety in work environments, there are many hazards to consider and safety regulations to abide by. It's why occupational safety training is so important across Ireland's many workplaces. The aspect of occupational health we're going to be looking at here today is manual handling training, which actively prevents injury.

When you're picking up, pushing or moving anything, using only bodily force, it's quite easy to hurt yourself. Manual handling training ensures that everyone in the workforce is aware of the risks of improper and receives all the knowledge required to stay safe. 

OHSS Offers a Range of Workplace Safety Training 

At OHSS, we offer a wide range of workplace health and safety training to businesses across Ireland, which includes manual handling training. Those attending get to learn everything they need to know about safe manual handling, including aspects like:

• Principles of safe manual handling

• Application of manual handling principles

• Manual handling legislation

Designed for employees who may be involved in manual handling as part of their work, attendees are able to demonstrate correct moving and lifting procedures after completion. Furthermore, our training is approved by FETAC (Further Education & Training Awards Council).

Alongside our standard manual handling training, we also offer FETAC Level 6 Manual Handling Instructor training for organisations looking to deliver their own in-house training.
