Risk Assessment	N/A	Consider the task at hand and assess the risk factors which are likely to cause manual handling injuries, taking into account the following factors – Actions and movements used; Layout/condition of work environment; Posture of the body whilst working; Duration and frequency of the task; Weight and position of the object and its intended final location; Nature of the object; Work organisation; Age, skill and experience of the worker; Force applied.	Supervisor/ Worker
Risk Control	N/A	When a manual handling risk has been identified, take steps to control it by – Redesigning the task to remove or minimise the risk; If redesign is not possible, use mechanical aids (where practicable) to assist in the task and remove the manual handling risk; If neither is possible, then provide particular training/ education to the worker(s) to control the risk.	Supervisor/ Worker
Preparation: Assess size, shape, condition and weight of load(s).	Slips, trips and falls.	Ensure personnel are trained in manual handling and/or effectively supervised. If load is heavy or awkward, get help. DO NOT TRY TO LIFT ON YOUR OWN. Use team lifts for heavy, long or awkward loads and control and coordinate team movements with signals.	Supervisor/ Worker

Preparation: Assess workflow and work area.	Slips, trips and falls.	Eliminate unnecessary manual handling- Use mechanical aids where possible. Allow for frequent rest periods and job rotation. Organise a smooth work flow. Ensure personnel are trained in safe lifting procedures. Ensure workplace is uncluttered and well lit & floor surfaces are even and non slip.	Supervisor/ Worker
Lift and carry objects.	Muscular skeletal stress / injury Slips, trips and falls. Lacerations and abrasions. Crush injuries.	Allow for frequent rest periods and job rotation. Ensure new workers are adequately supervised. Perform all movements in a controlled, balanced and comfortable position. Minimise repetitive bending, twisting and over reaching movements. Use correct lifting techniques, including- Position your feet as close as possible to the load. Adopt a balanced position with your knees bent. Get a safe secure grip diagonally across the object with the palms of your hands.fingertips. Beware of sharp edged materials – wear safety gloves. Keep your upper body erect and as straight as possible. Tuck your chin in, draw your shoulders back and use your body weight to take up the load weight – ensure a proper grip. Take a deep breath, keep your head up and begin to lift the load by straightening your legs. Complete the lift with your head held straight. Hold and carry the load close to your body to reduce the strain on your arms, shoulders and back. Use your body weight to counter-balance the load weight by leaning slightly backwards as you move. Use your feet to change direction – do not twist your body, hips or shoulders. Avoid carrying loads that obstruct your view, particularly on inclines, declines or stairways. Avoid repetitive lifts from below mid-thigh height and above shoulder height. Avoid single handed repetitive lifts and avoid lifting while leaning over to reach the load.	Worker Worker Worker Worker

Working at heights can be in the form of :- Working on a roof, on the top of a tank, from an elevated platform, from a ladder, a building façade, a building under construction / renovation, working on a structure e.g. steel, timber, concrete, slippery surface, sloping surface, working over water, in or near lift shafts, within 2.0 m of an edge where there is the potential to fall 2.0 m or more. Continued over page	Falling. Personal injury	Recommended controls for fall protection can be in three forms or a combination of either :- 1. Fall prevention – placing a physical barrier to prevent personnel working where they can fall e.g. Walls, Mesh screening, Guardrailing / Handrails, Fixed barricading set back 2.0m from any fall potential 2. Fall restraint – limiting personnel from reaching the point of potential fall e.g. Parachute type full body safety harness with a limited length inertia reel connected to a fixed point or static line.
