Co warto wiedzieć przed egzaminem

  • Council Directive 90/269/EEC of 29 May 1990 sets the EU minimum requirements for manual handling of loads where there is a risk, particularly of back injury, to workers.
  • Employers must first try to avoid manual handling, for example with mechanical equipment. If it cannot be avoided, they must assess the task and reduce the risk.
  • Workers must be told about the protective measures, get information on the weight of loads where possible, and be trained in correct handling.
  • Under the Framework Directive, safety and health training must take place during working hours and may not be at the workers' expense.
  • EU-OSHA says there is no exact safe weight limit, but 20-25 kg is heavy for most people.
  • In the 2015 European Working Conditions Survey, 33% of workers carried or moved heavy loads for at least a quarter of their working time.
  • MSDs cause almost half of all work absences of three days or more in the EU, and the sooner a problem is managed, the less likely it is to lead to long-term work loss.

Najczęściej zadawane pytania

Is this an official or accredited manual handling certificate?

No. When you pass the final assessment you get a PassEveryTest Certificate of Completion, which shows you finished this general awareness course. It is not an accredited qualification or a legally required training certificate.

Does this course replace my employer's manual handling training?

No. Under EU law your employer must train you in correct handling for your own tasks, during working hours and at no cost to you. National laws and your employer's own procedures always apply.

What is the maximum weight I can lift at work in the EU?

EU law does not set one weight limit. EU-OSHA says there is no exact safe limit, but 20-25 kg is heavy for most people. Some countries set their own limits in national law, so check the rules where you work.

What does TILE mean, and is it in the law?

TILE stands for task, individual, load and environment. It is a common memory aid used in training, not a legal term, but it covers the factors listed in the annexes of Directive 90/269/EEC.

How does the final assessment work?

It has 30 questions drawn at random from the course question bank, with a 35-minute time limit. You need 80% to pass, and each attempt gives you a new mix of questions.

Czy zaświadczenie jest akredytowane lub oficjalnie uznawane?

Nie. To prywatne zaświadczenie o ukończeniu, wyłącznie dla Twojej wiedzy. Nie jest uznawane, akredytowane ani zatwierdzone przez żaden rząd, organ licencyjny, regulatora ani instytucję edukacyjną i nie zastępuje żadnej licencji, certyfikacji ani szkolenia wymaganych przez prawo.
