Key learning outcomes encompass understanding the rationale behind safe handling, conducting risk assessments, grasping the principles of manual handling safety, and applying manual handling skills securely. This qualification ensures that employees comprehend their duties and grasp the fundamentals of safe load handling. Please note that the minimum age requirement for the classroom course is 16.
