When don't manual handling assessments need to be recorded? The workplace precautions are complex and may be difficult to explain or repeat When mechanical aids are used The operations have been assessed as high risk and of medium to long duration The workplace precautions can be easily explained and repeated or the operations have been assessed as low risk and short duration

Answer 1

Manual handling assessments don't need to be recorded when "The workplace precautions can be easily explained and repeated or the operations have been assessed as low risk and short duration."

Answer 2

Manual handling assessments generally need to be recorded if the operations pose a higher risk or have medium to long duration, or if the precautions are complex and might be difficult to explain. This is to ensure that details about the operation and precautions taken are well tracked and communicated. However, when the precautions are simple and can be easily explained, and the operations carry minimal risk and are short in duration, it's often considered acceptable not to document the assessment. This is based on the assumption that the low risk and lack of complexity imply fewer chances of future hazards that could result in harmful outcomes. Always remember that the primary reason to record assessments is to maintain a safe workplace. Still, some authorities in specific jurisdiction require recording of every manual handling assessment even if it seems low risk for legal and record-keeping purposes.
