Manual Handling certificate templates and badges
3 free designs. A set is one design as a badge, a landscape or a portrait certificate, or all three.
Free for up to 20 recipients a year
A manual handling certificate template gives you a ready record for anyone trained to lift, carry, push or pull loads at work: warehouse and delivery staff, retail and hospitality teams, cleaners, builders and care workers. Employers, training providers and independent trainers issue it after the course, usually at induction and again after each refresher.
A good certificate for manual handling names the person and the course, lists what the session covered, such as a TILE risk assessment, safe lifting technique, team lifts and mechanical aids, and carries the date, the trainer's signature and the date the person should be re-checked.
The designs come as printable certificates in A4 and US Letter and as digital badges. Send them by email, where each manual handling training certificate can be verified online and shared on LinkedIn.

FAQ
Questions, answered
TILE stands for task, individual, load and environment: the four things a person checks before moving something by hand. The task is the movement itself, the individual is the person's own capability, the load is its weight, size and grip, and the environment is the floor, space, light and route.
There is no single interval that suits every workplace. Many employers repeat it every one to three years, and sooner after an injury, a near miss, a new piece of equipment or a change of tasks. Put the planned date in the re-check or valid-until field so it is easy to track.
The trainer who ran the practical session, and often the employer's health and safety lead or the person's manager. When an outside manual handling trainer delivers the course, both the trainer and the employer can sign.
No. It is a record that the person attended the training and the practical session on a given date. The employer still assesses each handling task, provides lifting aids where they are needed and supervises the work.
Moving people is usually taught as a separate course, often called moving and handling or people handling, with hoists, slide sheets and transfers. Name that course as the program so the certificate shows which kind of handling the person learned.
They are drawn in the style of the pictorial handling marks printed on shipping cartons, as described in ISO 780: this way up, centre of gravity and no hand hooks. On these designs they are decoration only and do not stand for any approval or accreditation.
