Manual handling is a daily activity in almost every workplace, from offices and warehouses to construction sites and healthcare facilities.

While these tasks may seem routine, improper manual handling is a leading cause of workplace injuries—especially back pain, muscle strains, and joint injuries. This course provides essential knowledge and practical skills to recognize risks, apply safe techniques, and protect yourself and others from harm.
