Manual Handling Training FAQs
1. Is manual handling training mandatory in Ireland?
Manual handling training is not mandatory for every employee. It is required where the work involves manual handling that presents a risk, particularly a risk of back injury, and employers must assess and reduce those risks.
2. How often should manual handling training be refreshed?
HSA guidance recommends refresher training at intervals of not more than every three years, and sooner if there is a major change in the work involved, equipment used or work area.
3. Can manual handling training be delivered on-site?
Yes. On-site training allows the course to be tailored to the loads, equipment and tasks your team actually handles. HSA guidance says training should be specific and relevant to the tasks involved, and practical demonstrations should ideally take place in the workplace.
