Manual Handling Risk Assessment Guide

This document summarizes a manual handling risk assessment conducted in December 2019. It involves a multi-stage process to identify risks and implement controls. First, general questions are asked to determine if manual handling regulations apply and if further assessment is needed. Tasks, loads, environment, and individual factors are then evaluated against various criteria. Finally, control measures are determined and implemented to reduce injury risks as low as reasonably possible.
