Scoring Criteria
Compliant – No shortfalls identified, criteria met or standards required achieved
Partially Compliant – Minor shortfalls identified in the standard or requirement, minor opportunities for improvement identified and the standard is still to an acceptable level. (For Example -PAT Testing – Most items tested and in date however a few units have been missed)
Non-Compliant – The standard or requirement has not been achieved and deemed to be unacceptable. Immediate action is required to address the shortfall/s (Example – PAT Testing – Most items out of date and not tested) -
Has manual handling awareness training been carried out? (Evidence from WINDA or accredited training body, E-learning packages)
-
Have all manual handling risk been identified (local manual handling Risk Assessment, last task carried out, knowledge of procedures)
-
Can the risk be eliminated? (does the Risk Assessment suitable apply the hierarchy of control, is it suitable and sufficient for the task being carried out)
-
Can the risk be mitigated? (does the Risk Assessment give adequate control, is it suitable and sufficient for the task being carried out)
-
Where the manual handling risk cannot be<br>eliminated or mitigated, is there a suitable and sufficient risk assessment in place.
-
It is acceptable to use generic Manual Handling assessments for broadly similar operations.
-
Review manual handling risk assessments for the following reasons <br>(There is evidence that it is no longer valid<br>There has been a significant change in the task<br>Incident occurs which causes or may cause significant injury)
-
Are employees at a greater risk managed? (for example pregnant workers, young workers, those with a significant health problem or a recent manual handling injury)
-
Carry out Task Observations on manual handling activities checking controls and if relevant safe handling techniques (as per practical training) are being used.
-
Has a Point of work risk assessment been completed? (POWRA filled in correctly, details of any unforeseen issues not captured within the RAMS, Has it identified any manual handling risks, Are these being controlled?)
-
Manual handling aids - in good condition and serviced? (evidence provided by inspection reports, MS forms pre use check records)
-
List of Manual handling aids - what is on site and what is required (visual inspection of any manual handling aids being used)
-
Good Manual handling techniques observed throughout the task? (visual inspection of task being carried out by individual, TILE, PPE, use of manual handling aids where required.)
