Who this template is for
Manual Handling Assessment is built for small teams who need a reliable intake process who need to collect the same complete information from everyone.
- Small teams who need a reliable intake process working in manufacturing & industrial.
- Teams who need to collect the same complete information from everyone without writing code or paying for a custom build.
- Anyone replacing chasing missing details over email with one structured record per enquiry.
- Respondents are the people you send it to — the form asks them 12 questions across 2 screens.
Why this form is useful
It removes the cost of chasing missing details over email and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.
- 6 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
- It pins the request to a specific date.
- Conditional logic hides 2 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
- Splitting the form across 2 pages keeps each screen short and shows respondents how much is left.
- Every response is stored, searchable and exportable, so nothing depends on one person's inbox.

- Features conditional validation: if “Is the current risk acceptable?” is No — further action needed, “Action owner” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- All 2 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

Questions about this shared form
Do I need this for every box someone lifts?
No — focus on tasks with real risk of injury: repeated, heavy, awkward or environment-constrained lifts, rather than every incidental lift in a day.
How does this relate to the COSHH Assessment Record?
They cover different hazards — COSHH is about hazardous substances, this is about physical strain from lifting and moving loads — but both often apply to the same warehouse task.
What if the task can't be mechanised at all?
Then the control-measures field should describe what is used instead — team lifting, handling aids, rotation, or reduced load size — and the risk should be reassessed against those controls.
Who should complete this assessment?
A supervisor or health and safety lead familiar with the task, ideally after watching it being performed rather than from a description alone.
