Manual Handling Training in Dubai, Abu Dhabi & Across the UAE
Manual handling is a normal part of work in many industries. Employees may need to lift boxes, carry materials, move equipment or push trolleys as part of their daily tasks. When these activities are done incorrectly, they can cause back pain, muscle strain and other injuries.
NIMS provides Manual Handling Training in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and across the UAE for employees who are involved in lifting, carrying, pushing, pulling or moving items at work.
The training focuses on simple and practical ways to handle loads safely. Employees learn how to lift properly, avoid unnecessary strain and reduce the chances of injury during their day-to-day work.
Why Manual Handling Training Is Important
Manual handling injuries do not always happen because of one heavy lift. Many injuries develop gradually through repeated lifting, poor posture, twisting, awkward movements or handling loads that are difficult to control.
Employees may also get injured when they try to lift something alone that should have been moved using mechanical assistance or with the help of another person.
Proper Manual Handling Training in the UAE helps employees recognise these risks before starting a task.

What Is Manual Handling?
Manual handling includes more than lifting.
It can involve:
- Lifting
- Lowering
- Carrying
- Pushing
- Pulling
- Holding
- Moving
- Supporting
- Repositioning loads
A load may be a carton, tool, machine component, hospital supply, furniture item, housekeeping trolley, luggage, food container, construction material or any other object handled by an employee.
The risk depends on the weight and shape of the load, the employee’s posture, the distance involved, how often the task is repeated and the condition of the workplace.
