A participative hazard and risk management (APHIRM) toolkit workshops

APHIRM toolkit

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) caused by hazardous manual handling are the most common work-related injury in Australia.

We’ve worked with La Trobe University to design a participative hazard identification and risk management (APHIRM) toolkit to support your workplace in preventing MSDs.

Developed for Victorian employers and OHS professionals in large workplaces, to address both physical and psychosocial hazards, the free online toolkit helps you:

• identify the hazards in your workplace that increase risk of MSDs
• engage employees in the risk management process
• design actions to address specific hazards
• monitor progress and review outcomes.

Ready to implement the toolkit in your workplace, but want more information or support?
