This manual handling risk assessment guide helps teams identify and control hazards across high-risk tasks common in logistics and field operations. It covers repetitive or sustained postures and movements, long-duration activities, and contributing factors such as heavy lifting, pushing and pulling, awkward grips, vibration from tools, prolonged driving, and extreme temperatures. Use it to review tasks step by step, flag high-force or awkward posture requirements, and implement controls, team lifts, appropriate equipment, and environmental adjustments to reduce musculoskeletal injury risk.
