Disabilities are not taken into account
It would be helpful and appropriate to provide alternative suggestions at the different stages, for people who have a current disability, eg: I was forced to choose the answer 'Be prepared to use the stairs if no lift is available.' in the test, but I am unable to use stairs, so this would not be an appropriate option for me! Similarly, if you have a knee injury, you may be unable to crouch; or perhaps you only have 1 hand/arm – how could you lift the load instead?
Useful reminder to protect your back from silly actions
Excellent guidance as to how to lift safely along with the reasons for the advice. Food for thought and not just for work situations.
good to know what 'should' be happening schools.
It's good to know what 'should' be happening. In reality we don't even have chairs that stay up.

Ok
Not to long
Succinct, informative & brief
Goes over all you need to know with a quiz at the end to test your knowledge. A good amount of information so that is not overwhelming, going over the key points with optional downloads that go into more detail should you wish to learn more.
Not fully informative
Overall, well put together and informative, but I think it could have been improved. The actors in the video's seemed too "robotic" and the situations they were in could have been more 'real world situations', show lifting different sizes and how to lift an uneven load. I don't think that there was enough to show the bad/downside to lifting incorrectly. It wasn't anything i hadn't done in the past, but was good to have a refresher on what to do, and not do.
Great
Very useful to learn about manual handling because it helps you to avoid injuries
