It’s recommended Manual handling refreshers should occur annually, with more frequent updates (e.g., every six months) for high-risk industries or roles.
Regular training ensures employees maintain proper techniques, stay updated on safety procedures, and comply with changing regulations and workplace conditions.
Manual handling refers to the transporting or supporting of a load by hand or bodily force. It includes activities such as lifting, putting down, pushing, pulling, carrying, or moving loads, objects, or even a person. The type of workplace and job being performed determine the manual tasks relevant.
Manual handling is used in a wide variety of industries. Most notable among these are construction and healthcare.
When it comes to working in construction, no one can work in the industry without first completing white card training. Officially known as CPCWHS1001 Prepare to work safely in the construction industry, this course is essential for anyone looking to begin work on a construction site, or in any workplace where construction may occur.
Skills Training College has a wide range of healthcare courses which suit a variety of needs. Some of these are specialised toward people looking to start a specific career, while others are general yet essential skills that everyone should know. Following is a comprehensive list of relevant courses:
The answer to this question depends where in Australia you are. In some states and territories this qualification does not expire, and in others a manual handling certificate remains valid for two (2) years.

A manual handling certificate is required to ensure that individuals are trained to safely undertake manual handling tasks in the workplace. Employers may require this certification to ensure compliance with health and safety legislation and to mitigate liability in the event of manual handling-related injuries. Without this certification, there will be certain jobs you simply cannot apply for. Examples include construction workers, certain disability support workers, and nurses.
The consequences of performing manual handling tasks incorrectly can be both physical and mental. Some of the most common consequences include:
