Lifting

This page will help you to assess a single person lifting operation and includes two videos of a manual handling task.

Lifting assessment guide
Before you begin watching the videos we advise you to read through the assessment guide and if possible print this out.
Print flow chart, graph and scoresheet
After you have read through the guide you will need to print out the flow chart, graph and scoresheet. These are required to assess and evaluate the risks in the video.
Use the interactive scoresheet
The scoresheet can also be filled in on screen.
