The Level 2 Award in Principles of Manual Handling addresses common manual handling injuries and equipment, among other fundamentals of manual handling. This course covers its material in the span of a half-day; it is a theoretical course with no hands-on exercises. This course is ideal for all workplaces seeking to reduce the risk of manual handling injuries, such as those that may occur while lifting objects. Given that manual handling is responsible for more than one-third of all workplace injuries, it is critical that working environments minimise the risk of such injuries through knowledge and awareness of the associated dangers. A regulated course, the Level 2 Award in Principles of Manual Handling is a nationally recognised credential.
