sunscreen, hat and long sleeves
when working outside, insect
repellant if required.
“Take 5” principle adopted when
commencing a new task. Stop,
think and plan for any new task,
taking into account any potential
hazards associated with that task
Any tasks associated with working
at heights (ie cleaning gutters) or
electrical work must be carried out
by appropriately licensed &
experienced personnel. Permits
must be completed for working at
heights.
Any task involving manual handling
must be assessed prior to
commencing the task and
appropriate controls implemented
such as two person lift, using
trolleys or other means of lifting
and carrying. General principals of
manual handling need to be
observed ie lift close to the body,
bend the knees, turn the feet do not
twist the body, share the load.
