Manual Handling Risk Assessment
Bradley Environmental can carry out a Manual Handling Risk Assessment on your behalf, or we can assist you to carry them out by providing forms, examples and support. We can also provide Manual Handling Instructor Training.
Manual Handling is defined as the transporting or supporting of a load, by hand or bodily force. If these activities cannot be eliminated, there is a legal requirement (Manual Handling Operations Regulations) to carry out a specific Risk Assessment.
For more information about Manual Handling Risk Assessments or Training, please complete our quick contact form in the blue box and one of our consultants will be in touch.
The Risk Assessment should cover:
- The TASK being carried out - for example stooping, twisting, pushing, pulling etc.
- The INDIVIDUAL carrying out the task - for example age, health, strength etc.
- The LOAD being carried - for example heavy, bulky, sharp, hot etc.
- The ENVIRONMENT the task is being carried out in - for example stairs, noise, lighting etc.
- Any other relevant factors.
Please note that a Manual Handling Risk Assessment and many other services can also be covered as part of our Health and Safety Membership Scheme.
