Assessing the task - continued
Further assessment of the manual handling task
Continuing with the idea of assessing the task, the load and environment need to be considered. You should consider:
- The weight, shape and size of the load
- Any packaging or handles etc.
- It's stability
- The contents: hot, cold, hazardous
- The floor condition
- The ambient temperature etc.
- General housekeeping.
Again, this will be a very quick assessment as the employee will know most of these answers from day to day experience.
