The Manual Handling Risk Assessment Tool has been developed in response to the increasing need for structured risk assessment processes in Nigerian workplaces, as required by the Factories Act Cap F1 LFN 2004 and related regulations. This document should be used whenever organizations need to assess risks associated with lifting, carrying, pushing, pulling, or moving loads by hand or bodily force. The tool incorporates both Nigerian legislative requirements and international best practices, providing a comprehensive framework for risk assessment. It includes detailed guidance on hazard identification, risk evaluation criteria, control measure implementation, and ongoing monitoring processes. The document is designed to be practical and user-friendly while ensuring compliance with relevant Nigerian workplace safety standards and regulations.
