Manual Handling Training in Galway

The manual handling regulations that apply in Dublin and Cork apply equally in Galway. Any employer whose workers engage in manual handling tasks — lifting, carrying, pushing, pulling, or supporting a load — must ensure those workers have received suitable training. For Galway's large medical device cluster in Parkmore and Mervue industrial estates, manual handling is a daily activity on production floors and in warehouse areas.

A Collier Training Solutions manual handling course for your Galway team covers all the essentials: Irish and EU legislation, anatomy and injury prevention, the TILE risk assessment framework, and extensive hands-on practice. The course runs for approximately half a day, minimising the time your staff spend away from their roles while meeting the letter and spirit of the HSA's requirements.

Healthcare employers in Galway University Hospitals and the many nursing homes and residential care facilities across Connacht will particularly benefit from our patient-handling component, which can be integrated into the standard manual handling course to address the specific demands of moving and assisting patients. Construction companies active on Galway's ongoing residential and commercial developments can have training delivered on or near the site.

Collier Training Solutions covers all of Galway city and county for on-site delivery, including Galway city, Salthill, Oranmore, Athenry, Tuam, Ballinasloe, and Clifden. Our instructors bring all necessary training materials and equipment, so you need only provide a suitable indoor space for the practical session.
