Yes. Manual Handling Training is an accredited CPD activity with the CPD Standards Office, the UK's research-led CPD accreditation body.

Task, Individual, Load, Environment and Other factors. These match the factors the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 list for assessing handling risks.

The regulations do not set a single legal weight limit. Your employer assesses each task, looking at the load, the task, the environment and the person doing it.

You must make full and proper use of the safe system of work your employer provides. You must also take reasonable care of yourself and others and co-operate with your employer.

Health and safety training should be repeated periodically where appropriate and updated when risks change. Lift College recommends refreshing this course every 3 years, and the refresher is free.

If you help people to move in a care setting, Moving and Handling of People Training is the course for you.

Your employer decides the manual handling training your workplace needs, based on its own risk assessment of the tasks you do. A good certificate records the course, the hours of learning, the completion date and a refresh date, and it can be verified. The content should follow the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992, the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, and the training should be refreshed on schedule. Lift College's course and certificate do each of these. The certificate records 3 hours of learning, your completion date and a recommended refresh-by date, with a unique certificate number and a verification link. The course is written around those three sets of rules, and the refresher every 3 years is free. It is a CPD Standards Office accredited certificate (provider number 51289).
