Manual Handling Risk Assessment

A Manual Handling Risk Assessment is a targeted inspection designed to identify, evaluate, and control the risks associated with lifting, carrying, and moving loads in the workplace. Completing a manual handling assessment demonstrates your business’s commitment to employee safety, legal compliance, and proactive risk management – trusted by clients, partners, and regulators across all sectors. With robust manual handling management, you reduce the risk of injuries, improve workplace efficiency, and show you value your team’s wellbeing. Compliancy Group guides you through every step – making manual handling compliance clear, practical, and a genuine business advantage.

Quality means doing it right when no one is looking.
