This manual handling risk assessment template helps teams identify and control risks that can cause musculoskeletal injuries during lifting, carrying, pushing, or pulling tasks. Record task details such as load weight, frequency, and carry distance; check for risk factors including awkward postures, twisting, vertical movement, long carries, difficult or unstable loads, and strenuous pushing or pulling. Consider environmental conditions like flooring, level changes, temperature, airflow, and lighting, along with individual capability, PPE suitability, and psychosocial factors such as workload and training. Capture photo evidence, annotate issues, and assign corrective actions to responsible parties to drive remediation and improve workplace safety.
