#BuildWithSoter/Manual Handling Assessment

Turn a manual handling video into a WorkSafe-ready assessment.

Encode your methodology once. Run a full WorkSafe-formatted manual handling assessment — REBA scores, MANTRA risk ratings, a prioritised control plan — from a single workplace video. Built by Bodycare Workplace Solutions on SoterAI.

THE PROBLEM

Every assessment, the same two to four hours.

Bodycare's occupational physiotherapists know exactly what a manual handling assessment involves, because they have run thousands of them. That expertise was never the bottleneck. The bottleneck was doing the same mechanical steps by hand, every single time.

THE MANUAL PROCESS

  • VISIT the site to observe and film the task
  • REVIEW the footage frame by frame, more than once
  • SCORE REBA by hand, body segment by body segment
  • WRITE UP the MANTRA risk assessment and control worksheet

They encoded that methodology into a workflow on SoterAI. Now the video goes in, the framework runs, and the report comes out, in the same session.

WHAT THEY BUILT

One video, one session, one report

Across 13 clients and 12 assessors, this is now Bodycare's primary delivery tool for manual handling assessments.

  1. STEP 01

    Upload the video and answer a few questions

    Upload a video of the manual handling task and answer context questions: task description, load weight, frequency, injury history, environmental factors.

  2. STEP 02

    The AI runs the assessment

    It processes the video to extract REBA scores and body-part risk indicators, then conducts a full hazard identification and MANTRA risk assessment.

  3. STEP 03

    A Canvas report comes out

    A structured report with prioritised control recommendations is delivered in the same session — no separate write-up, no second sitting.

WHAT COMES OUT

  • WorkSafe-style hazard identification
  • REBA analysis by body segment
  • MANTRA risk scores
  • Prioritised control recommendations
  • A risk control worksheet

2–4 hrs

saved per assessment — the site visit, hand scoring, and write-up that used to take an afternoon, now returned in the same session.

THE DETAIL THAT MAKES IT DEPLOYABLE

Every video is blurred by default.

Bodycare works across food processing floors, cold-chain warehouses, and retail distribution centres, where worker anonymisation isn't optional. That wasn't added to the workflow after the fact — it was built in as a given, and it's the reason filming is permitted on site at all.

SEVEN MONTHS OF USE, ACROSS THE WHOLE TEAM

“No one has ever run it without blur.”

That's not a setting people remember to configure. It's the default everyone has kept, every time, on every job.

WHAT THEY'RE BUILDING NEXT

The assessment is solved. For a business running dozens of assessments at a single plant, the next build is what makes the pattern across all of them visible.

  • Portfolio view across sites

    A single view of every assessment run across a client's plants and sites, not one report at a time.

  • Recurring-hazard tracking

    Surface the hazards that keep showing up in the same role or the same line, not just the ones caught this week.

  • Close-the-loop case management

    Track a flagged hazard through to the control being implemented and verified, not just identified.

RUNS INSIDE BODYCARE'S SERVICE

This isn't a standalone tool

It's part of how Bodycare Workplace Solutions delivers manual handling risk assessments to their clients. Their occupational physiotherapists run the workflow, interpret the output, and own the recommendations. The AI handles the scoring; the clinical judgement stays with the practitioner.

What SoterAI handles

  • Extracting REBA scores and body-part risk indicators from the video
  • Running the MANTRA risk assessment against the context provided
  • Drafting the prioritised control recommendations and worksheet
  • Blurring faces and backgrounds by default before anyone reviews footage

What Bodycare's physiotherapists own

  • Running the assessment on site and briefing the worker
  • Interpreting the output against what they know about the role
  • The clinical judgement behind every recommendation
  • The relationship with the client and the return-to-work outcome

If your organisation already works with Bodycare Workplace Solutions, ask your consultant about adding video ergonomic assessments to your program. If you don't, this is a good reason to start.
