Prepare the record

Brief the team
Use the same template to brief workers, capture signatures and keep the method clear.
Close with proof
Attach checks, photos, actions and follow-up evidence so the record survives the job.

Related FAQs
Is this an official manual handling assessment?
No. It helps triage tasks before a competent risk assessment and site-specific controls.
From Manual Handling Calculator
What should a high score trigger?
Review mechanical aids, team lifting, route changes, reduced load weight, handling frequency and training.
From Manual Handling Calculator
What is trigger time?
Trigger time is the time the tool is actually vibrating in the worker's hands, not the whole task duration.
From HAVS Calculator
Should I use declared tool values?
Manufacturer data can be a start, but measured site data is better for risk assessment.
From HAVS Calculator
