Manual Handling Risk Assessment
Our Manual Handling Risk Assessment template has been written by IOSH and NEBOSH qualified professionals. This Risk Assessment template helps you to identify hazards and risks of injury involved with handling tasks in a variety of working environments.
Manual handling is the biggest cause of workplace injuries in the UK with a reported one in three injuries being due to improper handling which often leads to back pain. Employers have a general duty of care when it comes to the health and safety of their workforce and manual handling is a key aspect of that.
