Advanced Manual Handling Risk Assessment

Manual handling remains one of the leading causes of workplace injury, and many organisations struggle to consistently assess risks across tasks, teams, and sites. Without a clear process, assessments can be incomplete, controls may be misaligned with the real level of risk, and managers can overlook high-impact improvements that protect staff from harm.

This toolkit strengthens advanced manual handling knowledge by showing duty holders how to plan, carry out, and review risk assessments in a structured and reliable way. It helps managers decide when to use HSE assessment tools, interpret findings confidently, and choose practical controls that reduce risk at source.

Organisations can use this toolkit to raise the standard of their manual handling assessments, maintain stronger compliance with the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992, and create a safer, more consistent approach to handling tasks across the workforce.
