Level 2 Award in Manual Handling Risk Assessment (QCF)

The Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 require employers to assess any hazardous manual handling tasks that cannot be avoided

and reduce the risk of injury, as far as practically possible.

Our Level 2 Award in Manual Handling Risk Assessment course is delivered over one day and provides supervisors and employees with the knowledge and understanding of the manual handling risk assessment process and the skills required to undertake a suitable and sufficient risk assessment.
