New certificate in manual handling risk assessment04 March 2022

Manual handling is one of the main causes of work-related musculoskeletal disorders, and it's a global problem. The World Health Organization estimates 1.71 billion people experience musculoskeletal conditions worldwide.

NEBOSH has partnered with the Health and Safety Executive to develop a new qualification: the NEBOSH HSE Certificate in Manual Handling Risk Assessment.

This qualification isn't about how to lift, it helps people take a step back and effectively risk assess manual handling activities. By doing so they may be able to eliminate or reduce an activity and the risks involved.

NEBOSH says that the one-day qualification enables participants to:

The NEBOSH HSE Certificate in Manual Handling Risk Assessment is available to study via its network of learning partners.

Be able to explain what manual handling risks are and how they may result in injury

Learn how to use HSE tools to interpret, categorise, and communicate the level of risk identified for known risk factors associated with manual handling activities

Practice appropriate manual handling risk assessment technique.
