The course

What You’ll Learn

Four short modules, then a final test. Around 30–40 minutes in total.

01

Manual Handling Injuries

How lifting injuries happen, which parts of the body are most at risk, and what the long-term cost of a bad lift looks like.

3 min
02

Risk Assessment

Assessing the Task, the Individual, the Load and the Environment before you lift — the method most manual handling guidance is built around.

5 min
03

Controlling the Risks

Avoiding the lift, reducing the load, using aids and equipment, and organising the work so the risk drops before technique matters.

9 min
04

Safe Lifting Technique

The full lifting sequence step by step.

14-day money-back guarantee · no card needed to create an account

Our 14-day money-back guarantee. If you are not happy with the course, email us within 14 days of your purchase and we will refund you in full. You do not need to give a reason. Your statutory cancellation rights. Under Book VI of the Belgian Code of Economic Law you normally have 14 days to withdraw from a distance contract. Because this course is digital content supplied immediately, that statutory right ends once you expressly consent to immediate access and acknowledge that you will lose the withdrawal right — you are asked to confirm both at checkout before the course opens. The guarantee above is offered voluntarily in addition to those rights and does not restrict them.

The legal position

Training Duties in Belgium

In Belgium, every employer must give workers sufficient and appropriate information and training on safety and health at work. The duty comes from the Law of 4 August 1996 on the well-being of workers and the Code on well-being at work (Codex over het welzijn op het werk / Code du bien-être au travail), which implement the EU Framework Directive 89/391/EEC.

This online course covers general workplace safety principles, not tied to one country's legislation. It does not replace the workplace-specific instruction your employer or prevention adviser (preventieadviseur / conseiller en prévention) gives you.

Working on or near electrical installations? In Belgium that is covered by the AREI / RGIE and the BA4 / BA5 rules — see our BA4 Electrical Safety course.
