Safe Moving and Handling Level 2 (VTQ)

This Safe Moving and Handling Level 2 course provides essential manual handling knowledge for workplaces where lifting and moving objects is part of the job.

The course is designed to meet the requirements and recommendations of the HSE Manual Handling Regulations 1992, helping reduce the likelihood of injuries caused by poor lifting technique.

Topics include legislation, common injuries, good practice, accident prevention, and the use of lifting aids to support safer working.

The course also covers manual handling risk assessment, including a recommended 5-step process to assess risk and apply suitable control measures.

This training focuses on moving objects and is suitable for induction or refresher training across a wide range of workplace settings.

Most people take moving and handling training as a requirement for their role where lifting is involved.

This course is suitable for anyone who moves, carries, lifts or handles items at work, helping improve safe practice and reduce injury risk.

Online learning allows you to train at your own pace, in your own time.

Some professionals that may benefit from this course include:

• Factory workers
• Office workers
• Care workers
• Shop staff
• Warehouse and logistics teams
• Anyone whose job involves lifting and moving objects

2. When you have completed your order, we will email you with:

• A link to the training portal

3. If necessary, you can then distribute keycode(s) to other learners as required, or use the keycode(s) yourself if the training is for you. Remember, keycodes can only be redeemed once and only work for the course specified.
4. Learners can then sign up using the link to the training portal, www.protrainings.uk/signup/firstaid4less.
