Encouraging and using good manual handling techniques. For example: Ø When bending or lifting try to vary duties or change posture Ø When bending to lift objects try to maintain an inclined back and bent Knees to a semi-squat where your feet are stable on the ground and you assume a power lifted stance Ø When lifting awkward and heavy items, use mechanical aids. When this is not possible consider team lifting where people are trained. Ø Posture is particularly important when forceful and/or repetitious tasks are performed or static postures are maintained. e.g. Mopping or vacuuming. The working posture is therefore important in preventing injury. 9. Protrusions Ensure that any protrusions including nails, bolts, reinforcing rods and mesh bars, steel, copper and plastic tubing, metal flashing etc, are removed, bent over or guarded to eliminate or reduce risk of injury. 10. Warning signs Ensure warning signs are provided where required and are clearly visible to persons approaching the hazardous area. Use Slippery when Wet signs when mopping floors.

To prevent the person falling, the following controls should be considered.
If prevention is not practicable a worker’s fall should be arrested by a method that does not pose any risk of injury or death when the fall is arrested. Examples of control measures to arrest a person’s fall are: a fall-arrest harness system; and an industrial safety net.
