Manual Handling Level 2 RQF Training

Manual Handling Level 2 RQF Training

More working days are lost in the UK each year to manual handling injuries than any other illness or injury. Employees cannot be expected to know the ins and out of safe handling without being appropriately trained, which is precisely why those overlooking the importance of manual handling training are the most likely to suffer strains, sprains, muscle pulls and more serious injuries. British businesses are now required by law to provide appropriate manual handling training for the benefit or employees – a law that covers all working environments across the board.

Guardian Angels Training offers a simple yet effective Level 2 RQF (QCF) qualification in manual handling, which has the potential to both satisfy governmental regulations and help build a safer working environment for all employees. Any staff who may on occasion or on a regular basis be required to move inanimate objects could benefit significantly from the course’s content – those required to move human beings however should not consider manual handling training a sufficient qualification.
