Manual Handling (i.e. lifting boxes) can lead to injury. This assessment is a tool that can analyse a person doing a task and identify the probability of the task leading to an injury.
As part of the assessment we take into consideration the ergonomics of the job and its relation to increased manual handling or postural based risk. This is where we can provide a desk ergonomic set up assessment.
How does it benefit your business?
- Identify how a task may be unreasonable or completed with a greater level of safety
- Mitigate manual handling / ergonomic risk
- Reduce the occurrence of injuries due to incorrect manual handling procedures
A Risk Assessment may be conducted after a Task or Job Analysis has highlighted that a job may have an unreasonable risk associated with it and/or the job or task is known to be associated with a high injury rate.
