The Manual Handling Risk Assessment is a crucial document required under Danish workplace safety legislation, specifically mandated by the Working Environment Act and Executive Order No. 1164 on Manual Handling. This document should be implemented whenever workers engage in activities involving lifting, carrying, pushing, or pulling of objects or people. It provides a structured approach to identifying, assessing, and controlling risks associated with manual handling tasks. The assessment must be reviewed regularly and updated when significant changes occur in the workplace or working procedures. It forms part of the broader workplace risk assessment requirements in Denmark and must be available for inspection by the Working Environment Authority. The document includes detailed evaluation of task characteristics, load properties, environmental factors, and individual capability considerations, along with specific control measures and training requirements.
