Repetitive lifting or motions required to move an object should be avoided
All items in excess of 25KG to be lifted and carried via team lifting where it is not feasible to use mechanical means

General Housekeeping
At any time where the work area is to be left unoccupied the work area must be left in such a way to not pose a risk to anyone who may access it. This shall include: Securing any loose materials and ensuring no sharp objects, cutting tools, off cuts have been left around the work area which could pose a hazard
Current Control Measures
