Stringent adherence to PPE requirements and risk assessments are mandatory. Our work requires a methodical careful approach. Speed is not a primary consideration. Safety of you, the UWA community and infrastructure are.
It is anticipated that most items will not be dangerous goods. The training and PPE you receive will minimise the risk of those items that are dangerous goods. There are protocols in place to streamline the response to extremely dangerous items that may turn up. Such items are rare; you probably will not find one during this project. -
