Manual Handling Risk Assessment Form

Form · FORM-31112

  • Version 2

Manual handling can be hazardous and lead to musculoskeletal disorders such as back injuries, sprains or long-term chronic pain. This form helps businesses identify and mitigate the risks of manual handling tasks.

It records the task, its location, the people involved and why it was identified, then works through postures and movements, duration, forces and vibration, with tick boxes and space to describe each risk and its controls.

Written by SafetyDocs safety experts, who have been writing safety documents since 2004.
