The HSE (Health and Safety Executive) Manual Handling Risk Assessment Template is a valuable tool for organizations to assess and mitigate the risks associated with manual handling tasks. Manual handling refers to any activity that involves lifting, carrying, pushing, or pulling objects, which can pose significant risks to the health and safety of employees if not properly managed.
This customizable template helps organizations identify potential hazards, evaluate the level of risk, and implement appropriate control measures to minimize the likelihood of injuries. It covers crucial factors such as load weight and characteristics, working environment, individual capabilities, and task demands. By systematically assessing these elements, organizations can identify areas where improvements are needed and develop effective strategies to reduce the risk of manual handling injuries.
