This manual handling checklist helps teams plan and execute lifting and carrying tasks safely. It guides users through preparation, including what is being moved, distance, team size, training, equipment, and area hazards. During lifting, it checks PPE use, coordination for team lifts, load weights, stacking, and supervision. After the task, it prompts review of incidents, injuries, and equipment damage to inform improvements. Use this template to assess risk, document findings, and support safer manual handling across worksites.
