Overview

Incorrect manual handling is one of the most common causes of injury at work. It can result in work related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) which account for over a third of all workplace injuries. The risk could be reduced significantly if managers and workers understand the risks and take appropriate action.

This course serves as a quick, simple, effective way of explaining the risks associated with manual handling and the practical steps that can be taken to manage the risk.

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.
