Safe Handling / Lifting
x BEFORE ANY WORK IS CARRIED OUT, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE SAFETY
SIGNS ON THE FOLLOWING PAGES ARE USED, TO CREATE A SAFE WORKING
ENVIRONMENT.
x Make sure that you know the correct lifting techniques.
x Don’t jerk and shove - twisting the body may cause injury.
x Lift in easy stages - floor to knee level, then from knee to carrying position. Reverse
this sequence when setting the load down.
x Hold weights close to the body. Lift with the legs and keep the back straight.
x Organise the work to minimise the amount of lifting necessary.
x Use mechanical means or other aids when necessary.
x Don’t lift parts that are extremely heavy by you. Seek assistance. Work together but
make sure that only one person gives clear, unhurried instructions.
x Use protection for hands and feet and protective clothing where necessary.
x Plywood board should be used to cover the aperture during installation whenever
possible, to ensure the safety of the installers and the occupants.
