Use the Manual Handling Assessment Charts (MAC) tool to assess risks from:
- lifting and lowering
- carrying
- team handling
The tool helps you identify higher-risk manual handling tasks and understand which risk factors may need attention. It uses scores and colour coding to show the level of risk.
Before you start
You should understand how the MAC assessment works before completing one.
The MAC tool may not provide a complete risk assessment on its own. You may need to consider other information, including individual capabilities, the working environment and task-specific risks. You should also involve employees and safety representatives.
Complete a free MAC assessment
You can use the free version to complete an individual MAC assessment.
The service guides you through the assessment and records the results.
