Risk Assessment Description:

This free arthritis risk assessment template is designed for employers, HR managers and occupational health practitioners who need a compliant way to assess and manage workplace risks for workers with arthritis or degenerative joint conditions. Whether you’re planning manual handling tasks, setting up workstations, organising shift patterns, or reviewing tool use, this arthritis risk assessment example provides pre‑filled hazards and control measures you can customise.

The template covers key risks such as repetitive hand movements, heavy lifting, prolonged static postures, awkward postures, vibration exposure, poor ergonomics, insufficient breaks, temperature extremes, psychosocial stress and lack of reasonable adjustments. It aligns with the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, Equality Act 2010 (reasonable adjustments), Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 and HSE guidance on musculoskeletal disorders.

Use this template for:

  • Workplace risk planning – identify and control arthritis‑related hazards before they cause injury.
  • Employee health reviews – integrate occupational health advice and reasonable adjustments.
  • Compliance documentation – demonstrate adherence to UK health and safety legislation.

Each hazard includes suggested control measures covering ergonomic assessments, task rotation, mechanical aids, break scheduling, temperature control and training. The risk matrix uses a standard 5×5 likelihood‑severity scoring, with controlled severity always matching the initial severity as required by HSE guidance.

Use this template responsibly and adapt to your site-specific needs.

Fully editable and shareable – customise hazards, add site‑specific risks, adjust control measures to match your conditions, then download as a PDF for records or share with your team.

Compliant with: Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, Equality Act 2010, Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992, Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, HSE Musculoskeletal Disorders guidance.
