The Manual Handling Risk Assessment Form serves as a critical tool for workplace safety compliance in the Philippines, mandated under Republic Act No. 11058 and the Occupational Safety and Health Standards. This document should be used whenever new manual handling tasks are introduced, existing processes are modified, or as part of regular safety reviews. It captures essential information about task characteristics, load properties, environmental conditions, and worker capabilities, enabling organizations to identify potential risks and implement appropriate control measures. The form aligns with DOLE Department Advisory No. 1 Series of 2008 on workplace ergonomics and helps organizations fulfill their legal obligations while protecting worker health and safety. Regular completion and updating of this assessment is crucial for maintaining compliance with Philippine occupational safety regulations and preventing manual handling-related injuries.
