Body Impact Risk Assessment/Task Analysis

Are your workers experiencing aches and pains or injuries due to their daily work tasks?  
The musculoskeletal wellbeing of your employees is a vital asset, regardless of your industry.

To foster a safe and healthy work environment, it’s essential to identify manual handling risk factors and mitigate elements that may pose risks to your workers musculoskeletal health. This is where AIMs Body Impact Risk Assessment comes in.

In 2024, WorkSafe introduced the NZ Manual Handling Assessment Charts (NZMAC)

This is a valuable tool for identifying high-risk manual handling tasks in NZ workplaces.

Several members of our AIM team have attended WorkSafe’s introduction of this tool, and we can help you implement it effectively. Learn more about NZMAC here or contact us to see how it fits into our Body Impact Risk Assessment process
