This checklist helps workers and supervisors evaluate manual handling tasks and apply safe lifting techniques to prevent injury. It covers stable footing and posture, keeping loads close to the body, lifting with the legs, avoiding twisting, and using suitable lifting equipment or assistance for heavy loads. It reminds teams of typical safe weight limits and encourages risk controls such as reducing load size or mechanizing tasks. Use it for site inspections, toolbox talks, and training across operations to strengthen compliance and safety culture.
