The risk assessment of pushing and pulling (RAPP) tool will help you to identify high-risk pushing and pulling tasks.

- moving loads without wheels, such as when objects are dragged/slid, rolled, or involve a combination of pivoting and rolling known as churning.
We are developing a New Zealand version of the RAPP tool. In the meantime, if you need to assess pushing and pulling tasks use these from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE):
