Everyday site hazards
Manual tasks done safely every shift
Many injuries start with repetitive, heavy, or awkward tasks. Better technique and planning reduce incidents.
Control risks before movement begins
Assess load
Estimate weight and destination before lifting.
Choose method
Use mechanical aids where possible.
Protect body
Use neutral posture and secure footing.
Watch exposures
Look for slips, trips, and spill risks early.
Hazard reminders
Noise and dust
Use controls when exposure is repetitive or prolonged.
Chemical substances
Read labels, follow SDS and keep incompatible materials separate.
Repetitive strain
Use break cycles and task rotation where possible.
Trip and fall prevention
Keep routes clear and report hazards fast.
If fatigue rises, pause and reset
Short breaks and tool adjustments are safer than forcing unsafe movement.
