Use the Risk Matrix to determine the initial risk level and the residual risk level.
Identified Hazard or Harm
-
General lifting of equipment – Slips trips and falls. Cuts
and strains. Damage to property -
What is the initial risk assessment?
- Catastrophic (e.g. Fatal)
- Major (e.g. Permanent Disability)
- Moderate (e.g. Hospitalisation/ Short or Long Term Disability)
- Minor (e.g. First Aid)
- Superficial (e.g. No Treatment Required)
-
Keep good posture. Look straight ahead, and
keep your back straight, your chest out, and
your shoulders back. This helps keep your
upper back straight while having a slight arch in
your lower back. Slowly lift by straightening
your hips and knees (not your back). Keep your
back straight, and do not twist as you lift.

at the level of your belly button.
Use your feet to change direction, taking small
steps.

Do not attempt to lift by bending forward. Bend
your hips and knees to squat down to your load,
keep it close to your body, and straighten your
legs to lift.
Never lift a heavy object above shoulder level.
Avoid turning or twisting your body while lifting
or holding a heavy object -
