Manual Handling Discomfort Survey

Form · FORM-31110

  • Version 2
  • Miscellaneous
  • Reads on any phone

The Manual Handling Discomfort Survey helps businesses identify and address potential musculoskeletal issues in the workplace. By using it, organisations can proactively assess tasks that may cause discomfort and implement changes to enhance worker safety and comfort.

For a named task and its location, it records when workers experience discomfort (during the task, for some time after, the following day or several days after), what the discomfort is, where on the body it occurs, on a body chart, how bad it is on a scale of 1 to 5, and what contributes to it.

Suitable for occupational health and safety officers, human resources professionals, workplace safety consultants and managers in industries with manual handling tasks. It is part of the Health and Safety Manual, whose documents refer to each other.

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