CIEH Principles of Manual Handling Level 1 Health & Safety Qualification
Principles of Manual Handling is a stand-alone level 2 qualification, which complements the CIEH Foundation Certificate in Health and Safety programme. It is aimed at
those who carry out manual handling activities at work and
introduces students to the hazards of manual handling, the
risks involved and controls available and what to expect
from a manual handling assessment.
Successful completion will prepare students to look carefully
at their own work activities and contribute to the development
of safer methods and tasks, in co-operation with their
managers and supervisors. The qualification is not
intended to train students to carry out manual handling assessments
nor to provide detailed training on handling techniques.
While this unit of study can be delivered as a stand-alone qualification and there are no specific pre-requisites, it is strongly recommended that students should already hold the CIEH Foundation Certificate in Health and Safety.
Topic areas covered
- The process of manual handling in the workplace.
- Manual handling injuries and the activities which cause them.
- Manual handling assessment and control options.
- Responsibilities imposed by the Manual Handling Operations Regulations.
