Provisions the documents cite: Part 1 (the Regulations with guidance — regulation 4, duties of employers), Part 2 (carrying out a manual handling risk assessment), Part 3 (assessing and reducing manual handling risks), Part 4 (mechanical assistance and good handling technique), Appendix (risk filters for lifting and lowering, carrying, pushing and pulling, and handling while seated)
What it requires
HSE's guidance on the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 as amended: how to avoid, assess and reduce the risk of injury from manual handling. The appendix risk filters help identify tasks that do not need a detailed assessment and explain how HSE's assessment tools (MAC, RAPP) fit into the process; the full risk assessment checklists are online only.
