Manual Handling in the ECEC Sector
This course gives you practical tools to work safely every day. You’ll learn what hazardous manual tasks are in ECEC, why they matter, and the key risk factors. You will use the risk management process and TILE quick check, understand employer and worker duties, and apply safe techniques for high-risk movements.
We will cover safer methods for everyday tasks such as cots, highchairs, change tables, low-level work, moving equipment, storage, cleaning and admin. You’ll learn how to prevent slips, trips and falls, adapt work during pregnancy or after injury, and know when to reassess risks.
By the end of the course, you will also be able to record and report hazards and near misses and support a strong safety culture, while protecting your own capacity with good body mechanics, warm-ups, micro-breaks and simple mobility strategies.
