HSE Manual Handling Risk Assessment Template

This HSE manual handling risk assessment helps you to identify risks when doing manual handling or lifting heavy loads that can cause several musculoskeletal injuries to your worker. Define the job to be performed, the place it is located, load weight and distance, and the staff involved in the project. Assess the risks while carrying or lifting loads and materials, list down corrective actions, and assign authorized people for the implementation and analysis. Use Lumiform to capture photos of the hazards and comment on them to highlight the problems and concerns.

HSE Manual Handling Risk Assessment Template: Promoting Safety and Preventing Injuries


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.


Please note that this checklist template is a hypothetical appuses-hero example and provides only standard information. The template does not aim to replace, among other things, workplace, health and safety advice, medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, or any other applicable law. You should seek your professional advice to determine whether the use of such a checklist is appropriate in your workplace or jurisdiction.
