WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW Legislation: - The Health and Safety at Work etc. Act Regulation 3 of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations The Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 (as amended). The law does not identify a maximum weight limit. It places duties on employers to manage or control risk; measures to take to meet this duty will vary depending on the circumstances of the task via a Manual Handling Risk Assessment. Manual Handling Risk Assessments: - When considering Manual Handling hazards (strains and sprains) remember that Manual Handling is not simply lifting items. It includes pushing, pulling, lifting, carrying, tilting, etc. Effective Date 01/09/2015 Page 2 of 5
3 Simple, low risk manual handling tasks can be assessed using the General Area/Activity Risk Assessment' form but more complicated/high risk tasks manual handling should be assessed using form MH001 When considering the severity and frequency scores for Manual Handling hazards consider all the following points relating to each manual handling task: The Task - does it include: Holding loads away from the body? Twisting? Stooping? Reaching upwards? Large vertical movements? Long carrying distances? Strenuous pushing or pulling? Unpredictable movement of loads? Repetitive handling? Insufficient rest or recovery time? A work rate imposed by a process, e.g. conveyor belt? Individual Capability does the job: Require unusual capability, i.e. strength/height Present an additional hazard to those with health problems? Present an additional hazard to pregnant women? Call for special information/training? The Load is it: Heavy? Bulky? Difficult to grasp i.e. round, wide, slippery? Unstable/unpredictable? Harmful, i.e. hot, sharp? Unwieldy, i.e. light in weight but awkward to lift? The Working Environment are there: Constraints on posture i.e. limited space to move? Poor floors, i.e. slippery and worn? Variations in floor level, e.g. stairs or ramps? Hot/cold/humid conditions? Strong air movements, e.g. outside? Poor lighting conditions? Other Factors which Increase the Risk: Is movement or posture hindered by clothing? Is personal protective clothing required for the job? Is the task done in busy areas 6. COMPETENCES AND TRAINING What You Need to Do? The unit manager must ensure that all staff are adequately trained. The type of training given will depend on a number of factors but will be based on one or more of the following categories: Induction Training Legal Training Mandatory On-Job Training Effective Date 01/09/2015 Page 3 of 5
4 Certified Training In order to demonstrate compliance with legal requirements and Due Diligence all training must be recorded on Training Record Cards. 7. RECORD KEEPING What information should be kept? The significant findings - what the risks are, what is already been done to control them and what further action is needed. Details of any particular groups of employees who you have identified as being especially at risk. SMS_HS_GU_002d_Manual Handling Risk Assessment_V1 8.
