Achieving this qualification will give you the confidence that your approach to manual handling risk assessment reflects HSE guidance and best practice

Course Overview

NEBOSH and Great Britain’s health and safety regulator, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), have partnered to develop a new qualification aimed at preventing one of the main causes of musculoskeletal disorders; manual handling.

The NEBOSH HSE Certificate in Manual Handling Risk Assessment is a one-day qualification, based on HSE’s best practice guidance and tools. The content will help you to identify and assess manual handling risk, and more importantly, prioritise controls to protect workers.

Matt Powell-Howard, NEBOSH Head of Product Development, says: “Many organisations jump straight to providing training on manual handling – how to lift etcetera. In developing this qualification we’re encouraging organisations to take a step back and take the time to effectively risk assess their manual handling activities. By doing so they may be able to eliminate or reduce an activity and, if manual handling is required, then they’ll have all the information they need to protect their workers.”

Who is it for?

The NEBOSH HSE Certificate in Manual Handling Risk Assessment is for anyone who gets involved with assessing and addressing manual handling risks. It is common for the following roles to have these responsibilities:

Health and safety professionals
Workplace champions
Employee representatives
Occupational health practitioners.

What will I learn?

The qualification will help you to:

Explain the importance of reducing risks associated with manual handling activities
Understand responsibilities in relation to manual handling
Explain what manual handling risks are and how they may result in injury
Demonstrate and practice appropriate manual handling risk assessment technique
Apply wider elements of risk management for manual handling.

How will it help my organisation?

Using this qualification to build in-house expertise will help organisations:

Protect team members from one of the main causes of musculoskeletal disorders
Have confidence that the approach adopted to manual handling risk assessment reflects best practice and utilises HSE manual handling tools and templates.

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) accounted for 8.9million lost working days in Great Britain in 2019/20 with manual handling estimated to be the main cause. 0.5 million workers suffered from a work-related musculoskeletal disorder in 2020/21, with a cost to organisations and to the UK economy. This is a global problem; the World Health Organization estimates 1.71 billion people experience musculoskeletal conditions worldwide, three in five workers in Europe report MSD complaints, more than half of US adults experience an MSD and it’s estimated that they cost countries between 0.5-2% of Gross National Product.

I attended one of Woodward's NEBOSH packages that encompassed the National General Certificate, Construction... certificate, Fire Certificate and Environmental Certificate. The package was very competitively priced and spaced out over a suitable period of weeks which allowed time for consolidation and coursework prior to the next module starting.The standard of instruction was excellent with all of the lecturers being highly qualified, experienced and knowledgeable. They were enthusiastic and used a range of different learning techniques which were appropriate to the subject being taught. They encouraged candidates to think around the subject and to examine Health and Safety issues critically and objectively.The modules were very thorough in covering the syllabus and providing candidates with the necessary knowledge. They also encouraged candidates to carry out research and further study in their own time in order to achieve a higher standard of pass. The lecturers provided guidance on what to revise/research and signposted candidates to numerous websites and journals which proved to be very useful.Woodward were very efficient and helpful with the application process and with providing admin support throughout the course and afterwards. The catering was very good with a wide selection of sandwiches and baked potatoes on offer as well as cookies, biscuits, muffins and more at break times along with tea, coffee and cordials.An added benefit is Woodward's associate scheme which provides an excellent opportunity for successful candidates who wish to deliver training to use Woodward's accreditation.read more
