This manual handling risk assessment form helps teams identify and manage risks that lead to musculoskeletal injuries. It includes analysis of workplace injury records, a detailed risk identification checklist for repetitive or sustained postures and movements, high-force tasks, and environmental factors such as vibration, heat, or cold. It also covers handling live animals or people and unstable or awkward loads. Use the risk matrix to rate current and residual risk, capture corrective actions, and standardize safe manual handling practices.
