Which regulations does manual handling map to here?

Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992. We print the mapping on the evidence pack so the construction client or principal contractor can tie the certificate to the reg they cited.

Why teams in Kintore book this

Most of the Manual Handling Training bookings we take from Kintore land because of one thing: competence paperwork fails an audit faster than people expect. We run the course on your site, against your equipment, and return paperwork inside the working week.

Kintore on the ground: AWPR-adjacent commuter and logistics belt with rail revival. Typical buildings: logistics warehouses, rail-adjacent compounds.

What the course covers

TILE risk assessment and safer technique
Team lifts, mechanical aids and load planning
Back injury prevention and reporting

Certification: Accredited Manual Handling certificate. Regs: Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992.

Typical manual handling scenarios on Kintore sites

Scenario 1
Repetitive picking in a chiller / cold-store environment
Scenario 2
Two-person lift of awkward kit (motors, panels, valves) up steps
Scenario 3
Push-pull loading of cages and roll-pallets at delivery bays

Audit findings this prevents

TILE assessed in the office, never on the actual task
Mechanical aids on site but never used because they're slower
Reporting only incidents, missing the near-misses that predict MSD injuries

Why this matters

473,000

UK workers reported a musculoskeletal disorder in 2023, half from manual handling.
