Manual Handling Assessment: Single Person Lift

Use this manual handling assessment template to evaluate single-person lifting and carrying tasks and reduce musculoskeletal disorder risks. Based on the HSE MAC Tool, it guides you to record load weight and frequency, hand distance from the body, vertical lift position, torso twisting and side bending, postural constraints, grip quality, and floor conditions. It also covers environmental factors, carrying distance, asymmetry, obstacles on route, and ladder use. Conclude with inspector details and signatures to document findings and corrective actions.

MAC Tool Manual Handling Assessment
This MAC Tool manual handling assessment checklist helps teams evaluate risks in lifting, carrying, and team handling tasks in line with HSE guidance. It covers load weight and frequency, hand distance from the lower back, vertical lift regions, torso twisting and asymmetry, postural constraints, grip quality, floor conditions, environmental factors, carry distance, route obstacles, and team communication and coordination. Use the scoring guidance to flag green, amber, or red risk levels and capture suggested actions, comments, photos, and assessor details.

Culligan Manual Handling Risk Assessment
Use this manual handling risk assessment template to identify hazards and evaluate tasks that involve lifting, carrying, and pushing or pulling. Record load details, frequency, posture, hand distance, vertical lift position, grip quality, floor conditions, and environmental factors such as temperature, lighting, weather, and wind. Assess carrying routes including obstacles like stairs, slopes, and surface changes. Evaluate pushing and pulling with or without wheels, including equipment type, posture, hand grip, travel distance, equipment condition, floor standard, and route obstacles. Calculate risk ratings using a clear matrix, document review triggers and version control, and raise corrective actions where needed. Conclude with verification that mechanical aids or automation have been considered and complete sign off to share with the team.
