I have carried out a risk assessment for carrying and handling heavy equipment. As this can be a regular thing with new deliveries every day, I thought it would be a good idea to use this as an example of a hazard.
Below is a risk assessment I carried out for a heavy box being delivered into work and having to be moved it into a specific room.
