Ways of reducing

The tasks: Do they involve holding loads away from trunk?


twisting, stooping or reaching
upwards?
large vertical movement?
long carrying distances?
strenuous pushing or pulling?
unpredictable movement of loads?
repetitive handling?
insufficient rest or recovery time?

a work rate imposed by a process?

the risk of

Can you -

improve workplace layout to


improve efficiency?
reduce the amount of twisting and
stooping?
avoid lifting from floor level or
above shoulder height?
cut carrying distances?
avoid repetitive handling?
vary the work, allowing one set of
muscles to rest while another is
used?

The loads: are they -

Can you make the load -

heavy, bulky or unwieldy?


difficult to grasp?
unstable or unpredictable?
intrinsically harmful, eg sharp or
hot?

lighter or less bulky?


easier to grasp?
more stable?
less damaging to hold?
Have you asked your suppliers to
help?

The working environment:


are there -

constraints on posture?
poor floors?
variations in levels?
hotlcold/humid conditions?
strong air movements?
poor lighting conditions?
restrictions on movement or
posture from clothes or personal
protective equipment?
Individual capacity:
does the job -

require unusual capability?


endanger those with a health
problem?
endanger pregnant women?
call for special information or
training?

Can you -

remove obstructions to free


movement?
provide better flooring?
avoid steps and steep ramps?
prevent extremes of hot and cold?
improve lighting?
consider less restrictive clothing or
personal protective equipment?

Can you -

take better care of those who have a


physical weakness or are pregnant?
give your employees more
information, eg about the range of
tasks they are likely to face?
provide training
(see sections 6 and 7)?
