Manual Handling (Miscellaneous and Specialist)
Manual handling across all trades - lifting, carrying, pushing, pulling, lowering and team handling of materials, tools and equipment.
Objective
Complete the work safely by controlling sprain & strain injuries from heavy, awkward and repetitive loads through designing out handling, using mechanical aids, planned team lifts & task rotation.
This is the Miscellaneous and Specialist version. The hazards and controls are written around miscellaneous and specialist work, so it differs from the other 52 trade versions of Manual Handling. Compare all 53.
Built by WHS professionals, written for your state
Every document is built by WHS professionals. Each state version references the Act, regulator, and requirements for the state you select. Victoria gets the OHS Act and WorkSafe Victoria, NSW gets the WHS Act and SafeWork NSW.
