WHSEQ MANAGEMENT PLAN PURPOSE This WHSE Management Plan is based on requirements of AS/NZS 4801, and nominates who is responsible for WHSEQ at a company workplace, and who will deal with WHSE incidents. It identifies the WHSE hazards associated with the workplace, and details the risk management processes that will be implemented for the identified hazards. The WHSEQ Management Plan (Plan) identifies the hazards associated with the particular work being undertaken at a workplace, along with the hazard and risk control measures that will be implemented to adequately protect people at the workplace (or who are likely to be affected by workplace activities and operations) from the risk of injury or illness associated with those hazards.. The WHSEQ Management Plan addresses the following components:

1. Policies, Roles and Responsibilities 2. WHS Consultation 3. Hazard Identification 4. Risk Management 5. Quality Assurance 6. Training, Competency and Inductions 7. Hazard, Incident and Injury Recording 8. Environmental Controls 9. Review of Implementation 10. Legislative References.

The WHSEQ Management Plan will be approved and signed by the principal of the company before implementation. 1. POLICIES, ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES (a) Policies The Work Health, Safety and Environment Policy (WHSE Policy) sets out the WHS and environmental aims and objectives of the company, and forms the basis of this Plan which sets out how the WHSE aims and objectives of the Policy are to be achieved, and how the company will meet its environmental aims and objectives where it has been recognised that company activities or products may have a measurable environmental impact. The Rehabilitation and Return to Work (RTW) Policy states the intention of the company to ensure that any worker who may suffer a work-related injury or illness will be encouraged, with the assistance and support of their treating practitioner, to return to meaningful work as soon as possible after the injury or onset of the illness. The Quality Policy states how the company adopts a “continuous improvement” approach to its design, manufacturing and installation process to ensure that our products and services meet the needs and expectations of our customers. All Policies are signed and dated by the principal of the company, and are reviewed annually. (b) Roles and responsibilities A table listing the responsibilities of nominated persons in relation to WHSEQ issues at the workplace is included in this Plan. This table will be updated when any changes occur in the personnel nominated in the table, and a revised copy included in the Plan. This plan includes WHSE duty statements that nominate individuals who will be responsible for specific WHSE aspects of the work, and who will be available to deal with any injury, illness or WHSE incidents. Evidence of competency must be provided where regulations require that only competent or licensed persons carry out certain work, and ensure that certificates and licences are current.

2. WHS CONSULTATION Employees of the company may, in accordance with the Work Health and Safety Act, elect a H&S representative (HSR) who will be provided with appropriate training, and the appropriate resources to effectively carry out their role. The HSR will be consulted with regard to WHS issues affecting the work group that he or she represents, and will be briefed on outcomes of site management team meetings relating to their area of work. The HSR will be allowed to carry out the following functions in his or her area of responsibility:

• Inspect the workplace, and carry out immediate inspections following any injury, work illness or dangerous occurrence

• Accompany an inspector during a workplace inspection • Be present at any interview between an employee and an inspector (where agreed by the employee) • Bring outside assistance to the workplace to assist them with their functions following approval.

Where allowed by law, a suitably qualified HSR may issue provisional Improvement Notices (PINs) in conformity with the rules specified in the regulations for the issue of PINs. The WHSEQ Management Plan & SWMS’s will be developed by competent persons responsible for carrying out the work in consultation with workers who will carry out the work. 3. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION (a) Planning WHS risk management requires identification of workplace hazards and the assessment of the risks associated with the hazards, and documentation of the risk control measures to be taken when carrying out the work. Environmental risk management identifies activities and circumstances at a workplace or site which may adversely impact on the environment. The following steps will be taken to ensure effective WHSE management:

• Identify all actual and potential workplace and work activity WHSE hazards • Assess risks associated with these hazards and select ways to eliminate or minimise the risks, and • Implement and prioritise control measures following risk assessment and monitor control measures.

Particular risk control measures (such as specialised facilities and equipment, proven work methods and specialised training) will be implemented for hazardous processes. Where necessary, we will consult with the persons carrying out the work and together identify and document any hazardous processes, and implement appropriate measures to control the associated risks. Where a hazard may impact on the public or the environment, appropriate authorities will be consulted to determine the probable extent of an impact, and the controls that must be implemented to control the risk. The risk planning process will be carried out whenever a significant change occurs in workplace layout or processes, or where new chemicals, substances or products are introduced, or the quantities of chemicals, substances or product are significantly increased. (b) Hazard Identification Tools such as workplace audits, checklists and hazard profiles will be used to identify and record workplace hazards. Where it is found that these tools may not cover or include all hazards, steps will be taken to ensure that all hazards which pose a risk of injury, illness or damage are fully identified and included in the Hazard Register. Workers will be consulted to assist in identification of any health and safety problems that they may have encountered in carrying out their work, and of any incidents or near misses that may have not been reported. Worker surveys may also be carried out to obtain information about other workplace hazards issues (such as workplace bullying), and symptoms of musculo-skeletal injuries or conditions that could indicate the existence of potential hazards. Information and advice regarding hazards and risks associated with the particular work activities carried out by the company will be sourced from bodies such as the regulatory authority, industry associations and unions, and from technical specialists and safety consultants where necessary. Safety data (including operator and maintenance manuals) will be obtained from the manufacturer or supplier for all plant, tools and equipment used at the workplace, and a current (less than 5 years old) Safety Data Sheet (SDS) will be

SPEEDY GANTRY HIRE P/L

WHSEQ Management Plan No. 001. Version 1.0 Page 5 of 20

obtained for all hazardous chemicals, and be included in the SDS Register. Risk assessments will be carried out for all plant and substances used at the workplace, and will be included in the Register with the relevant SDS. Incident, injury and illness records, hazard reports and results of audits and inspections will be used to identify hazards. All incidents and near misses will be investigated to determine the hazard (or conditions) that caused (or could have caused) the incident to occur. Regular inspections will be carried out of workplaces and work methods to ensure that WHSE requirements and controls are being implemented correctly. Records of all inspections will be retained for at least 12 months. (c) WHSE Improvement Action Plan The WHSE Improvement Action Plan will be used to allow a structured approach to the rectification of long-term WHS and environmental issues by identifying the resources necessary for the action, and setting a time frame in which the rectification will be achieved. The WHSE Improvement Action Plan will not be used for rectification of hazards or risks which can be implemented through normal course of business, but for planning changes which will impact the way in which the company or organisation conducts its business or undertakings. All improvements will be reflected in amendments (where applicable) to relevant Safe Work Method Statements and other appropriate documents. (d) Emergency Planning All aspects of the organisation’s activities will be examined to identify the type of emergency that could possibly occur, either due to internal or external events. Workers are to co-operate with all emergency response activities, and procedures will be developed for all foreseeable possible emergencies. These will include the following –

• injury or illness to a person caused by events occurring internally • damage and/or injury caused by events occurring externally • leak, spill or loss of containment of substances • damage and/or injury to persons other than those engaged by the company or organisation.

4. RISK MANAGEMENT (a) Risk assessment Risk assessments will be carried out for all identified hazards using the Risk Assessment Form, and appropriate controls selected to eliminate or, if it is not reasonably practicable to eliminate the risk, minimise the risk so far as is reasonably practicable using the hierarchy of risk control measures. Where it is determined that a risk cannot be eliminated, all persons who may be exposed to the hazard giving rise to the risk will be issued with and be required to correctly use appropriate personal protective equipment. These risk control measures will be included in the relevant SWMS. Training will be provided to all workers in how to properly select, use and care for PPE The risk assessment will identify –

• The type and severity of harm that could occur as a result from the hazard (consequences) • How many people are exposed to the hazard, and could be harmed by it • The subsequent failure of other controls, or the probability of escalation of an event.

Factors (contributing causes) that will be considered include –

• The effectiveness of existing controls, and whether they control all types of harm • How work is actually done, and • Infrequent or abnormal situations that may increase the type and severity of harm.

The risk assessment will identify the likelihood of harm occurring, and will be estimated by considering –

• How often the task is done, and does this increase the likelihood of harm • How close people are to the hazard, and how often • Whether the event has occurred previously, either in the workplace, or somewhere else, and how often.

The appropriate Risk Level Calculator will be used to assess the degree of risk associated with each identified hazard, and these results will be used to assist in prioritising risks according to their possible frequency and likely consequences. The Risk Level Calculator is included in the documents included in Appendix B – WHSEQ Plan Documentation.

WHSEQ Management Plan No. 001. Version 1.0 Page 6 of 20

(b) Risk control measures The approved hierarchy of risk control measures will be used to identify appropriate risk controls. This hierarchy is:

• Elimination of the risk, or, if it is not reasonably practicable to eliminate the risk, to apply other countermeasures (in descending order of preference):

• Substitute the hazard causing the risk with one with a lesser risk • Isolate the risk from persons who may be affected by the risk • Control the risk by engineering means (such as provision of guarding, safer plant and equipment) • Control the risk by using administrative measures (such as entry controls, training, etc), and • Provide appropriate personal protective clothing and equipment, and train persons in the correct use and

maintenance of the equipment. (c) Development and implementation of risk controls Information regarding appropriate risk controls will be sourced from –

• Approved codes of practice and guidance material • Manufacturers and suppliers of plant, equipment, chemicals and substances used in the workplace, and • Other relevant bodies (such as consultants, industry associations and unions).

Development and selection of risk controls will be carried out in consultation with workers who are exposed to the risk and other persons with suitable knowledge and competency where necessary. The risk assessment and development of risk controls will be documented, and include the reason(s) why the preferred control option was selected. Implemented risk controls will be monitored to assess their effectiveness, and reviewed within at least 12 months from the date that the controls were implemented. Tools such as the Task Observation Form will be used to assess the effectiveness and implementation of controls, and to identify any further control requirements. (d) Safe Work Method Statements Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS) will be developed to provide a means of carrying out high risk construction work in a manner which ensure that risks are eliminated, or if it is not reasonably practicable to eliminate the risk, to minimise it so far as is reasonably practicable. A specific Safe Work Method Statement will be developed using the hazard identification and risk assessment and controls identified above, together with any specific information regarding the site. The SWMS will be developed by competent persons responsible for the carrying out of the work in consultation with workers who will carry out the work, and will represent the safest and most practical way of carrying out the work activity. The SWMS will incorporate all requirements of applicable Regulations, codes of practice and standards that apply to the work to be carried out. It will also identify any qualifications, training or competencies required by those persons who will be carrying out the work, and any specialised expertise, equipment or materials necessary for the safe conduct of the work. Where required by the principal contractor, the SWMS will also address site environmental issues which relate to the work being carried out on the site or project by the company and the control measures to be adopted. The completed SWMS will be submitted to the principal contractor for approval before the commencement of work, and any required amendments made in consultation with interested parties. The workplace supervisor will ensure that the control measures specified in the SWMS are monitored in both their implementation and ongoing adequacy for the activity, while persons undertaking the work will be responsible for informing their supervisor if the implemented controls are inappropriate or do not fully control the risk. Where hazards are found to have been overlooked or become evident during the course of the work, a Job Safety Analysis (JSA) will be generated, and the SWMS will be amended to include appropriate controls for these hazards. Where amendments to the SWMS are required due to changed workplace conditions, the work being undertaken, or due to unidentified or new hazards, risks or compliance requirements, the SWMS will be amended by persons with the requisite knowledge and expertise to ensure that the amended SWMS meets the relevant WHSE standards, and the amended SWMS submitted to the principal contractor for approval.

(e) Changes to SWMS All work will be carried out in the manner described on the relevant SWMS. Where a variation to a SWMS is required for any reason, approval must be obtained prior to the variation being carried out. Suitable procedures will be implemented to identify and control any changes (including safety breaches and notices), and to implement corrective actions to remedy a non-conformance to approved SWMSs and to prevent a recurrence. Regular inspections of the workplace and work activities and processes will be undertaken by competent persons, and the results of these inspections documented. Where applicable, appropriate checklists will be used to assist in the conduct of these inspections. All hazards and risks will be recorded, and causative factors identified, together with the corrective actions required and implemented to prevent the recurrence. Any variations required to work procedures or processes which form part of a SWMS will be documented on the SWMS, and a revised SWMS issued to supersede previous documents, which will be withdrawn. All amendments to SWMSs will be listed on the SWMS. 5. QUALITY ASSURANCE (a) Identification and control of non-conformances A non-conformance is any activity or outcome that is in variance with the stated aims and objectives of the company’s Quality Policy or procedure relating to that activity or outcome. Non-conformances may be identified by internal workplace inspections, or by inspections or audits carried out by second or third parties. Suitable procedures will be implemented to identify and control all non-conformances, and to implement corrective actions to remedy the non-conformance and to prevent a recurrence. Regular inspections of products and processes will be undertaken by competent persons, and the results of these inspections documented. Appropriate checklists will be used to assist in the conduct of these inspections where applicable. All non-conformances will be recorded, and causative factors identified, together with the corrective actions required and implemented to prevent the recurrence. All products will be inspected at critical points (ITPs) during the manufacturing process to identify non-conforming products. Workers will carry out a final inspection of product prior to installation. Non-conforming product will not be installed, but returned to the company for rectification or replacement. 6. TRAINING, COMPETENCY AND INDUCTIONS (a) General construction induction All persons engaged in work on a construction site must have completed a General Induction course and have been (or are being) issued with the relevant General Induction card (white card) before being allowed to commence work on the site. Details of all training (including general induction training) are included on the Training and Competencies Register. (b) Workplace-specific induction Persons who will be working in a construction workplace will be provided with information regarding WHS issues relevant to this workplace before commencing work activities. This training will be provided by the workplace supervisor in conjunction, and any other personnel as required. This training will include at least the following topics:

• Workplace WHSE management • Workplace layout • Specific task or job requirements • Traffic hazards and vehicle/plant movement • General hazards present in the workplace (including specific control measures) • Hazardous materials controls • Personal protective clothing and equipment (PPE) requirements • Workplace emergency procedures (including reporting of incidents) • Location, selection and use of fire extinguishers • Identity of first aid attendants and location of first aid kits and facilities.

SPEEDY GANTRY HIRE P/L

WHSEQ Management Plan No. 001. Version 1.0 Page 8 of 20

Workplace-specific Safety Rules will be included in inductions for all employees, subcontractors and visitors to the workplace. We will ensure that all persons under our control adhere to these rules at all times, with offenders subjected to appropriate disciplinary measures. We will ensure that all persons are provided with a copy of the rules, or shown a copy of the rules which will also be displayed in the workplace. Each person will sign an attendance record as evidence that they have attended training and been properly instructed in the topics listed on the attendance record. Subcontractors and visitors to the workplace will be inducted along the lines of the topics listed above, and will be given by the workplace supervisor or the WHS officer before the person will be allowed to commence work or visit the site. Only workers who have attended this induction will be permitted into the workplace. (c) Competency based training Only those persons who hold the relevant Certificate of Competency or class of licence will be allowed to operate specific plant or machinery, or carry out certain occupations. A Training and Competencies Register will be compiled specifying the training and competencies of persons who will be undertaking these occupations and tasks. (d) Toolbox meetings and training Regular toolbox meetings and talks will be conducted to discuss particular hazards and risk controls, and to provide additional information regarding site safety rules, etc. These talks will also include training and refresher training on topics such as selection and use of PPE, fire equipment, tools and equipment, etc. Records will be made and kept of all toolbox meetings and talks. Pre-start meetings will be held to discuss the daily activity plan to ensure that all workers are advised of particular risks that will be encountered and the appropriate risk control measures to be followed in the carrying out of a project, and that sufficient competent personnel are available to carry out work which requires a particular competency. Records will be made and kept of all meetings. (e) Emergency procedures All personnel on site will be instructed in the procedures to follow in cases of emergency, including the correct selection and use of fire fighting appliances. Where work being carried out may present a risk of fire, an appropriate fire extinguisher will be provided, and the person(s) carrying out the work instructed in the correct use of the appliance. (f ) Young / Inexperienced workers All young & inexperienced workers will be supervised by experienced workers only, & will not be allowed to work alone. No young or inexperienced workers will be allowed to carry out any high risk work. 7. HAZARD, INCIDENT AND INJURY RECORDING (a) Workplace incidents, injuries and work illnesses The purpose of the WHSE Management Plan is to provide a safe and healthy workplace where all persons are free from risk of injury or illness. It is not an expectation that persons will be injured or suffer adverse health effects in the course of their work, and every effort will be made to eliminate injury and illness. All workers will report any workplace incidents, injuries or work illnesses to their supervisor, who will ensure that they are properly recorded on the appropriate form, and reported to the relevant persons and authorities (where required). All dangerous occurrences, lost-time injuries and illnesses will be reported to the supervisor or manager immediately, and the site preserved for investigation where required unless disturbance of the scene is necessary to prevent further damage, or to rescue a trapped person or to relieve suffering. All minor injuries requiring first aid treatment will be recorded in the first aid register which is provided with each first aid kit. First aid kits will be regularly inspected by the person to whom this responsibility has been delegated, and replenished and restocked as necessary. All workplace incidents, injuries and work illnesses will be investigated to determine all causative factors, and to allow measures to be implemented to prevent a recurrence. (b) Workers compensation, return to work and rehabilitation

WHSEQ Management Plan No. 001. Version 1.0 Page 9 of 20

The company will ensure that a current workers compensation insurance policy, public liability policy, and other applicable insurances are in force at all times. We will make every effort to ensure a safe and speedy return to work of an injured worker, and will offer suitable alternative duties (where possible) to accomplish this in consultation with the injured employee’s medical provider. Where an injured person cannot be returned to previous duties, we will endeavour to rehabilitate the person in accordance with best rehabilitation practice. A Rehabilitation Coordinator provider will be engaged when necessary where it is the company does not have a person with the requisite qualifications within its employ. 8. ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROLS (a) Environmental Policy All contractors and workers will be made aware of the company’s Environmental Policy and associated procedures. All work on sites will be carried out in a manner which will assist in the achievement of the stated aims and objectives of the Environmental Policy. (b) Compliance All work will be carried out in a manner which will comply with the Project Environmental Objectives and Targets as set out in a client’s Environmental Management Plan (EMP) or Project Management Plan. Work procedures and methods will be developed to ensure that these objectives and targets are met. All persons will be made aware of these objectives and targets, and their roles in their achievement. (c) Specific control measures (i) Acid sulphate soils Disturbance of Acid sulphate soils (ASS) will be minimised by:

• Identifying and barricading (or otherwise effectively restricting plant or vehicle access to) sensitive areas • Selecting work methods, plant and machinery to reduce the degree of disturbance of the ASS • Avoiding travel of plant and vehicles across ASS wherever possible • Planning work to minimise the amount of ASS being disturbed • Minimising the time that trenches and excavations are open, and • Minimising the amount of ASS required to be taken from the site for disposal elsewhere.

(ii) Air quality Sources of air pollution will be identified and control measures to prevent them affecting receptors on or adjacent to the workplace or site developed and implemented. Controls to mitigate dust and air pollution will be implemented (including methods to be used to monitor the effectiveness of theses controls). Dust and smoke generation will be minimised to ensure that there is no health risk or loss of amenity to neighbours. All receptors that may be affected by dust or smoke will be identified, including residents located in close proximity to the site, other sensitive site neighbours, and sensitive flora and fauna that may be adversely affected by dust or smoke. (iii) Contaminated sites Any work to be carried out on or adjacent to known contaminated sites will be carried out in a manner as instructed or required by the consultant or constructor, or by relevant authorities (local council, etc) including any specific controls or requirements regarding disturbance, removal or other treatment of the contamination. Where contamination is detected or suspected in an area where it was not previously known to exist, the constructor or consultant will be notified immediately, and actions to be taken (including restriction of access to the area) agreed on by all parties concerned. Persons will not be exposed to any known or suspected contamination without proper appropriate protective measures. (iv) Cultural and heritage issues All steps are to be taken prior to the commencement of work to identify items or sites which may be of cultural significance or heritage value, and guidelines implemented should a suspected area or item of cultural or heritage significance be discovered. Areas, places, sites and objects of cultural or heritage significance which have been identified will be protected against damage and further disturbance until a full assessment of the area or item has been carried out, and any protective measures and controls identified and implemented.

WHSEQ Management Plan No. 001. Version 1.0 Page 10 of 20

(v) Erosion and sediment control Erosion and sedimentation controls will be managed in accordance with local authority requirements to prevent sediment-laden water from entering any sewer, drainage system or natural waterway. Controls will be implemented to protect pollution of watercourses from spoil or imported material stockpiled on site, and to prevent creation of dust nuisance to adjoining neighbours. Construction work will be arranged such that exposed surfaces are kept to a minimum at all times. Measures will be implemented to minimise the spread of mud on vehicle tyres on adjoining roadways, including provision for on-site clean up if necessary. (vi) Fire risk The risk of fire from activities at the workplace or site, or from external sources (e.g., bush or grass fires) will be identified and managed. All potential sources of ignition will be identified and controls to prevent accidental ignition, and measures to deal with the outbreak of fire implemented. Means of fire fighting and control of fires should they occur must be provided, including the instruction of all persons of the procedures that will be followed in case of a fire, and training in the use of provided fire-fighting equipment. Issues that will be considered include hot work (welding, cutting, grinding, etc); operation, maintenance and repairs to plant, vehicles and equipment; control and removal of fallen vegetation, rubbish and waste, and persons smoking in areas where a fire risk may exist. (vii) Flora and fauna All significant flora and fauna on and adjacent to the workplace or site will be protected. Control measures to prevent disturbance will be identified and implemented. Where disturbance of protected flora or fauna is likely to occur, approvals to do so will be obtained prior to the commencement of the work. . Any discovery of declared pest species will be notified immediately to the principal contractor or constructor and to the relevant government (or local government) authority. (viii) Noise State and local council requirements will be adhered to in relation to working hours and the level of noise generated to ensure that adjoining residents and other sensitive neighbours are not unreasonably affected by noise generated on site. The generation of noise will be minimised wherever possible through the use of silenced and insulated plant, tools and equipment. Where sensitive receptors are in close proximity to noise sites, additional control measures will be considered to minimise the impact of noise on those receptors. The use of noise barriers will be considered where noise cannot be eliminated and where sensitive receptors may be affected. (ix) Plant and equipment servicing Storage and handling management practices will be implemented to ensure that no environmental damage will result from the storage and handling of fuels and lubricants. Spill and leak management practices will be implemented to minimise the risk of spills, to contain and clean up any spill or leak immediately, and to prevent any spill or leak to enter a sewer, drain or waterway, or to contaminate soil or affect flora and fauna. Washing of plant and vehicles will only be carried out in areas designed to prevent environmentally harmful substances from entering drains, watercourses, etc. Sediment basins and/or traps will be used to collect and clarify water used for washing, and to prevent sediment from entering potential receptors. (x) Storage of hazardous chemicals Storage and handling management practices will be implemented to ensure that no environmental damage can result from the storage and handling of hazardous materials. Spill and leak management practices will be implemented to minimise the risk of spills, to contain and clean up any spill or leak immediately, and to prevent any spill or leak to enter a sewer, drain or waterway, contaminate soil, or to affect flora and fauna. Procedures for the storage and handling of hazardous materials will be provided, and follow the requirements of the MSDS for the product. A current MSDS will be available in a MSDS register, which will be located in the workplace, and contain MSDSs for all hazardous materials used in the workplace. A substance will not be brought into a workplace unless its use has been approved and a MSDS has been provided.

(xi) Sustainability and resources management The concept of environmental sustainability will be applied to operations and activities that utilise and consume resources and generate emissions, and include adopting an integrated and sustainable approach to environmental management, exercising an appropriate level of product stewardship, employing best practice in environmental, energy and resource management, and pursuing continuous improvement in environmental management. (xii) Waste minimisation and control Recycling of waste packaging and material will be encouraged; however material which is not suitable for recycling will be disposed of as landfill and not be allowed to pollute the environment. Hazardous wastes will be placed into suitable receptacles for transport from the workplace for disposal at an approved waste disposal facility. 9. REVIEW OF IMPLEMENTATION The WHSEQ Management Plan will be monitored regularly, and reviewed at least annually. The WHS performance of the company or organisation will be compared to the aims and objectives of the Plan, and new or revised aims and objectives determined, as well as strategies and planning to achieve those aims and objectives. Negative performance indicators (e.g., injury and incident records, etc), and positive performance indicators (e.g., training, consultation, audits, etc) will be examined and analysed to highlight problem areas and to determine future strategies. 10. LEGISLATIVE REFERENCES The following table contains details of current legislation (Acts, Regulations, and Codes of Practice) that are applicable to company workplaces, activities and operations covered by this WHSEQ Management Plan, and which are referenced in the compilation of work procedures and SWMSs.

Adequate means of workplace ventilation must be provided to maintain a safe and healthy working environment by removing atmospheric contaminants and to provide cooling in hot conditions. 15. MANUAL HANDLING THERE IS NO SPECIFIED MAXIMUM WEIGHT THAT A PERSON MAY LIFT. In assessing whether a lift could be harmful to a person, all factors which could make the task hazardous must be identified and their impact assessed. No person is to attempt tasks beyond his or her physical strength – bur should always seek assistance, and always follow the principles of correct lifting and handling of loads. All tasks should be examined to see if any of the following factors are present in the task –

• repetitive or sustained application of force • repetitive or sustained awkward posture • repetitive or sustained movement • application of high forces • exposure to sustained vibration, or • manual handling of loads that are unstable, unbalanced or difficult to hold.

If any of these factors are detected, the task must be assessed to determine the degree of risk that workers are exposed to. In assessing risk, the cumulative effects of overexertion in causing musculoskeletal injury must be taken into account as well as the risk of immediate injury from the overexertion. 16. PROTECTION OF WORKERS AND THE PUBLIC Effective barricades, fencing, overhead protection and covering of holes and penetrations must be used to protect persons and to prevent falls, etc., of persons.
