Manual Handling Assessment Form

"I need a Manual Handling Assessment Form for our new warehouse facility opening in March 2025, focusing specifically on the loading dock area where workers will be handling packages weighing up to 25kg."

Document background
The Manual Handling Assessment Form is a critical workplace safety document required under Singapore's workplace safety framework. It is used whenever workers are required to lift, lower, push, pull, carry or otherwise move loads by hand or bodily force. The form helps organizations comply with the Workplace Safety and Health Act and related regulations by documenting the assessment of risks, existing control measures, and recommendations for improvement. It should be completed before new manual handling tasks commence and reviewed periodically or when circumstances change.

2. Task Description: Detailed description of the manual handling activity being assessed

3. Risk Factors Assessment: Evaluation of load, individual capability, task, and environment

4. Control Measures: Existing and recommended control measures to minimize risks

5. Action Plan: Specific actions required, responsibilities, and timeframes

Optional Sections

1. Equipment Assessment: Additional assessment section for tasks involving mechanical aids or equipment

2. Team Handling Assessment: Additional considerations when task requires more than one person for lifting

3. Special Risk Groups: Assessment considerations for vulnerable workers such as pregnant workers or those with physical limitations
