Manual handling is one of the most frequent causes of workplace injuries, with serious consequences for both employees and employers. To mitigate these risks, providing proper training is not just a legal obligation but also an essential step in safeguarding staff wellbeing and promoting a culture of health and safety within the workplace. 


Under health and safety law, employers are legally required to ensure that workers who are tasked with manual handling duties receive adequate training. This training aims to reduce the likelihood of injury by teaching employees how to lift, carry, and move objects safely, thereby preventing strain and musculoskeletal injuries, which are some of the most common workplace health issues. 


Intended Audience The Qualsafe Level 2 Award in Safe Moving and Handling (RQF) is a regulated, nationally recognised qualification designed to provide employees with the essential skills and knowledge to safely perform manual handling tasks. This qualification is ideal for individuals who work or intend to work in environments where manual handling is an integral part of their role. 


This course is especially relevant for employees working in a wide variety of sectors, including but not limited to: 

• Warehouses: Employees involved in lifting, stacking, or transporting goods. 

• Retail settings: Staff who handle deliveries, stock replenishment, or store layout changes. 

• Healthcare: Those who assist in moving patients or medical equipment. 

• Construction and manufacturing: Workers involved in handling materials or equipment. 


The course not only ensures compliance with legal requirements but also enhances employees’ understanding of safe lifting techniques and the importance of ergonomics, ensuring a safer, healthier work environment.


By completing this qualification, employees gain the confidence and competence to carry out manual handling tasks effectively while reducing the risk of injury, benefiting both their personal health and the overall safety culture of their organisation.
