HSE MSD Toolkit


[ch 8: page 132]

The HSE has developed a collection of tools to help identify common risk factors covering manual handling operations including lifting and carrying, pushing and pulling and repetitive tasks. These have been designed to help people carrying out risk assessments to break down tasks, identify elements that could pose a risk to workers and evaluate potential solutions or improvements.
