Risks
Actions - Lifting and lowering weights outside the guidelines. Carrying weights
without resting above 10m distance. Pulling and pushing loads requiring excessive
force to start and maintain movement. Twisting the body (trunk). Stooping at the
waist. Sudden movement of the load.
Frequent or prolonged physical effort. Effects of PPE and clothing.
Load - Load too heavy? Load difficult to hold on to? Load unstable? Load sharp, h
etc?
Working area - Lack of space? Slippery, unstable or uneven floors? Steps to have
walk up or down? Extremes in high and low temperatures? Gusts of wind or
inadequate ventilation?
Other - Pregnant worker? Young worker? Previous injury or ill-health?
