A task-specific risk assessment form for supervisors and WHS officers evaluating hazardous manual tasks under the WHS Code of Practice: Hazardous Manual Tasks. Assesses the risk factors that contribute to musculoskeletal disorders — postures, forces, repetition and duration, vibration, and the characteristics of the load and work environment.

Musculoskeletal disorders are the most common type of workplace injury in Australia. The WHS Regulations require PCBUs to manage risks from hazardous manual tasks. This form documents the assessment of each task and the controls applied to reduce the risk of injury to workers.
