Workers across Sydney’s healthcare, aged care, construction, warehousing, logistics, manufacturing, disability support and government sectors regularly perform tasks involving lifting, carrying, pushing, pulling and repetitive movements. When these activities are not properly managed, they can expose workers to hazardous manual task risks and contribute to musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), which remain one of Australia’s most common workplace injury categories.

AlertForce’s manual handling training Sydney employers and workers rely on provides practical guidance on identifying hazardous manual tasks, recognising workplace risk factors and applying safer handling techniques. Participants learn how repetitive movement, sustained force, awkward postures and vibration can contribute to workplace injuries, along with practical strategies to reduce those risks through effective task design, equipment and safe work procedures.

Aligned with the Safe Work Australia Code of Practice: Hazardous Manual Tasks, this training supports compliance with the WHS Act 2011 (NT) and helps PCBUs meet their duty to manage workplace risks. Whether you are completing training as an individual worker or seeking workforce-wide compliance solutions, our manual handling training courses provide practical knowledge that can be applied across a broad range of Northern Territory workplaces. Employers can also learn more about manual handling training and their legal obligations, while workers new to the topic may find it useful to understand what manual handling training is and explore five reasons why manual handling training matters.

NSW Requirement

Under the WHS Act 2011 (NSW), PCBUs must eliminate or minimise risks arising from hazardous manual tasks so far as is reasonably practicable. SafeWork NSW expects employers to identify manual handling hazards, assess associated risks and implement suitable control measures to reduce the likelihood of workplace injuries.

Hazardous manual tasks may involve lifting, lowering, carrying, pushing, pulling, holding or restraining loads where workers are exposed to repetitive movement, sustained force, awkward postures, vibration or high force. Training supports workers in understanding these risks and applying safe work practices that contribute to a safer workplace and improved WHS outcomes.

“As a resident of Malaysia, I decided to enroll in this course to upskill and enhance my professional capabilities. The training center has exceeded my expectations, offering a high-quality learning environment that is both good and convenient. One of its major advantages is its easy-to-find location, which is particularly beneficial for international students like myself. The center's proximity to Arncliffe station is a significant plus, as the close access to train transportation makes commuting a breeze. This convenient setup allows me to focus on my studies without worrying about logistical challenges.”

“Kevin was really approachable and had a great sense of humour which provided a relaxed environment to learn in. I appreciated how he kept everyone engaged. Kevin was really good at applying theory into practice and allowing us to share our own WHS / HSR experiences so we could learn from each other. A big thank you to Kevin.”

“Excellent course, I'm saying this because unless like most courses that are just plain boring. This course was run By Matt who I think is a great educator, he explains information in a way that's not just educational but also relevant to today's work practices, his insight and depth of knowledge shows his years on both subjects like asbestos and silica and how dangerous both can be, I'm now armed with the knowledge of how to treat these hazards and also how to prevent a problem that can be eliminated, I definitely recommend this course for anybody who wants to learn about asbestos and silica.”

While manual handling certificates do not have a legislated expiry date, many New South Wales employers recommend refresher training every two years or whenever workplace procedures, equipment, hazards or job responsibilities change. Refresher training helps workers maintain safe manual handling practices and supports employers in meeting their obligations under the WHS Act 2011 (NSW).

Under the WHS Act 2011 (NSW), PCBUs must identify hazardous manual task risks and implement reasonably practicable measures to eliminate or minimise those risks. While the legislation does not prescribe a specific manual handling training course, employers must provide appropriate information, instruction, training and supervision to help workers perform hazardous manual tasks safely.

Manual handling training helps workers understand hazardous manual task risks, recognise common injury factors and apply safer work practices. While training is only one component of risk management, it supports broader WHS compliance obligations and workplace safety outcomes.

AlertForce offers industry-specific manual handling training that addresses the hazards commonly encountered in different work environments. Healthcare and aged care courses focus on patient handling and mobility support tasks, while construction-focused training addresses material handling, load movement and site-based manual task risks.

Yes. AlertForce’s manual handling training is delivered online and can be completed from anywhere in Sydney or regional New South Wales. Participants receive a Certificate of Completion after successfully completing the course requirements.

There is no prescribed refresher period under New South Wales legislation. However, many organisations recommend refresher training every two years, or sooner if workplace risks change, incidents occur, new equipment is introduced or workers move into different roles involving hazardous manual tasks.
