How it works

A new starter can be certified the day they are hired.

01
Staff use your company code

Learners register at a1ro.ie/mh with your code, so nobody pays by card and every learner is linked to your account.

02
Course, quiz and practical video

Eight lessons, a theory quiz with an 80% pass mark, and a short video of the learner performing a lift.

03
Reviewed and certified

A QQI Level 6 qualified Manual Handling Instructor reviews each video and issues the certificate on approval.

What a corporate account includes

Everything an inspector or insurer will ask for.

Classroom sessions mean waiting for a date and taking people off the floor, every time someone joins. SafeHandle removes the scheduling and keeps the practical assessment.

Built to the regulations

Course content follows S.I. No. 299 of 2007 and HSA guidance on manual handling training.

A real practical assessment

Every learner films a lift, and a qualified instructor reviews it before anything is issued.

Numbered certificates

Each learner gets a numbered PDF certificate with their name, date and the instructor's details.

Completion report

A record of who has been certified, for your training file.

Automatic reminders

Learners who start and do not finish are reminded, without anyone chasing them.

Renewal reminders

Learners are reminded before their certificate expires in three years.

Who it's for

Built for employers with people who lift, carry, push or pull.

Warehousing and logistics

High turnover and frequent new starters, often on shifts that never line up with a classroom date.

Construction and facilities

Crews spread across sites, where bringing everyone to one room costs a day's work.

Healthcare, retail and hospitality

Large teams, part-time hours, and certificates expiring at different times.

Frequently asked questions
Is online manual handling training valid for employers in Ireland?+

Yes, provided it covers both the theory and the practical components required under S.I. No. 299 of 2007. The HSA does not mandate classroom delivery. SafeHandle includes a theory course, a quiz and a filmed practical lift that a QQI Level 6 qualified Manual Handling Instructor reviews before any certificate is issued.

How do my staff access the course?+

We give you a company code. Your staff register at a1ro.ie/mh with that code, so nobody pays by card and every learner is linked to your account. They can complete the course on a phone, tablet or computer.

How does billing work?+

Corporate accounts are invoiced monthly at €20 per learner for the learners certified that month. There is no upfront payment.

How long does the course take, and how long is the certificate valid?+

Most learners finish in 30 to 45 minutes. The certificate is issued once the instructor approves the practical video, and it is valid for 3 years.

What happens when certificates are due to expire?+

Learners get a renewal reminder before their certificate expires, so refresher training does not depend on someone keeping a spreadsheet.

Is the course available in other languages?+

The course is available in English and Romanian.
