Working
at height
The Work at Height Regulations 2005 requires that all activities must be adequately planned, supervised, and carried out by competent people. Do you need to work at height? Can the work take place at ground level? If no, then:
Is there a safe means of access and appropriate fall protection available?
Make a visual check of your equipment and platform before use. This includes toe boards being in place, no dangerous gaps in the platform, and correct guardrails in place. (Will it hold your weight?)
Take special care of yourself and your materials when on a sloped surface at height, as the slope increases the risk of a fall.
Harnesses must be used when working above head height, and securely fastened to a fixing point at all times.
If there is a major incident, please follow all given instructions and do not take matters into your own hands.
If you have any concern about Work at Height, please contact the Health and Safety team to discuss it.
Manual
handling
To minimise the risk of injury from lifting and carrying, please keep in mind that there is a difference between what someone can lift, and what someone can safely lift. The following principles may help.
Plan the lift How heavy is the object? Are you wearing appropriate footwear? Can you clear obstructions between the object now and where you are setting it down? Would it be safer to lift with another person?
Adopt a stable position: Feet apart, well balanced.
Starting the lift well: Get a good grip on the object, lift with your legs, do not use your back as a lever. Move smoothly, avoid quickly moving the object. Place the object down midway on another surface if needed before you are upright.
Carrying the object: Avoid twisting your back, keep the load close to the waist with the heavier side towards you. Keep your head up and look for anything that may be in your way, or another surface to put the object down on if needed.
Setting the object down: Continue to keep the object close to the waist to avoid overstretching, lower the object down with your legs rather than by leaning with your back.
Portable Appliances and Power Tools
Under the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998, all work equipment, including Power Tools, is required to be:
Fit for purpose & In good repair
Operated by a competent person, with appropriate PPE
Suitably protected and guarded, meaning it is inherently safe to use.
Key managers shall ensure that all activities within their section are properly planned and those working with power tools are doing so safely.
