    Common Exam Mistakes

    Pitfalls to avoid in your exams

    • •Believing that manual handling only involves heavy loads; learners often overlook repetitive handling of lighter items or awkward postures that pose significant cumulative risk.
    • •Skipping the individual capability assessment, such as not considering a colleague's existing back injury or fitness level before assigning a handling task.
    • •Using mechanical aids incorrectly, e.g., overloading a trolley beyond its safe working capacity or failing to inspect equipment for damage before use.

    Top Examiner Tips

    Expert advice for exam success

    • •During practical assessments, verbally explain your actions step-by-step to demonstrate underpinning knowledge and reasoning (e.g., 'I am checking the route is clear because environmental factors are part of the risk assessment').
    • •For written or knowledge-based questions, structure your answers logically using the TILE acronym to ensure you cover all risk assessment elements, and always reference relevant regulations where applicable.
