You must carry out a training needs assessment (TNA) before booking manual handling training. This will ensure you identify the specific manual handling (MH) and people moving and handling (PMH) training needs for your service. This information must be given to the training instructor.
Classroom-based training (theory and practical) is delivered by HSE instructors where available or Usafety.
