“Accidents happen!”

Yes, unfortunately, accidents do happen. But are they inevitable? Can’t we prevent them? Sure, it is nearly impossible to eliminate workplace injuries. But we can substantially lower the rate of accidents by complying with some regulations and techniques. Hence, we give this Manual Handling Course to make the workplace safer for you.

Injuries from manual handling occur at work to thousands of workers each year in the UK, ranging from mild to severe and long-lasting. Nearly all jobs require employees to carry an item from time to time, whether it be a laptop or a parcel. Most of the time, this happens without any injury being suffered. However, accidents will, and unfortunately do, still occur often throughout the UK.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
