MANUAL HANDLING
5.1 GENERAL
Manual handling is any activity requiring the use of force exerted by a person to lift, push, pull, carry
or otherwise move, hold or restrain any object.
5.1.1. Hazardous manual handling refers to those activities that have:
5.1.1.1. Repetitive or sustained application of force;
5.1.1.2. Repetitive or sustained awkward posture;
5.1.1.3. Repetitive or sustained movement;
5.1.1.4. Application of high force;
5.1.1.5. Exposure to sustained vibration;
5.1.1.6. Handling live persons or animals.
5.1.2. While not all manual handling tasks will cause injury, hazardous manual handling can lead
to many serious muscular-skeletal disorders (MSDs), including:
5.1.2.1. Muscle sprains and strains;
5.1.2.2. Back injuries;
5.1.2.3. Soft-tissue injuries to the wrists, arms, shoulders, neck or legs;
5.1.2.4. Abdominal hernias;
5.1.2.5. Chronic pain
5.2 MANUAL HANDLING RISK CONTROL
All service providers (All departments) are required to implement effective measures to eliminate or
mitigate the risk of musculoskeletal disorder. Eliminating the manual handling tasks that create risk
is the most effective way of protecting your safety. Examples of elimination include implementing a
“no lift” policy in health care, using pallet containers instead of manual lifting or outsourcing a task
that you do manually to another company who has the equipment to do the task safely.
5.2.1. If elimination is not possible then the management is required to implement controls to
reduce the risk of musculoskeletal disorder, this may include:
5.2.1.1. Alter the workplace, or the environmental conditions, where the manual handling
task is carried out;
5.2.1.2. Alter the systems of work used to carry out the manual handling task;
5.2.1.3. Change the objects used in the manual handling task;
5.2.1.4. Use mechanical aids.
If none of the above controls are practicable, the Contractor may provide the workers with some
information, training or instruction in manual handling techniques to control the risk.
There are certain activities, equipment or substances in the workplace that can pose a risk to employees or
the public. Employees and employers engaged in this work, or who use particular equipment or materials,
are required to hold a license.
A license is required if you will be performing high risk work (e.g. scaffolding and rigging, operating cranes
and forklifts, and using boilers and other pressure equipment).

Use of forklifts for lifting people is an unsafe, prohibited work practice unless an approved safety
cage is correctly used. Don't work from the tines of a forklift!
6.10 TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT
The interaction between traffic and pedestrians can create a significant risk of injury. There is an
expectation that the client should be able to separate traffic from pedestrians, by establishing
designated areas for traffic movement and ensuring pedestrians do not enter those areas.
You must be made aware if there is operation of forklifts at the client’s workplace. The usage of
forklifts in the workplace increases the risk of serious injury or death as this is often the outcome
when a forklift incident occurs.
In compliance with OHS legislation, the client must carry out hazard identification on all powered
mobile plant over which the operator has control. Where risk of powered mobile plant striking
pedestrians or colliding with other powered mobile plant is identified, the client must implement
control measures to eliminate the risk, or if not practicable, reduce it as far as practicable
6.11 MACHINERY AND POWER TOOLS

6.17 CHEMICALS
Many chemicals are used in the workplace. These can range from relatively harmless chemicals such
as some fertilizers through to highly toxic pesticides and herbicides.
Chemicals can affect your health by entering your body through breathing (e.g. dusts or pesticide
sprays), through skin absorption (e.g. some solvents such as kerosene or petrol) or through ingestion
(e.g. by eating or drinking the chemical).
If you are using chemicals, you must follow these safety precautions:
6.17.1 Identify the chemical you are using – refer to the label;
6.17.2 Obtain and refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS);
6.17.3 Obtain a copy of the safe operating procedure from the client;
6.17.4 Use the recommended personal protective equipment,
including respiratory protection – refer to the MSDS;
6.17.5 Never put left over chemicals in cordial or soft drink bottles.
6.17.6 Dispose of excess chemicals safely – seek advice from your Supervisor and refer to MSDS.
6.17.7 Make sure all containers are correctly labelled.
6.17.8 Wash your hands thoroughly after using
6.17.9 Any chemical and before eating, drinking or smoking
6.18 INDUSTRIAL GASES
Cylinders of compressed gas are often used at workplaces. These may include oxygen, acetylene, LP
gas and pesticides. If you are required to use cylinders, it is essential that you know the safe handling
procedures. Some general guidelines are:
6.18.1 Check that you are using the correct gas.
6.18.2 Check hoses and couplings are suitable and in good order.
6.18.3 Work with gases only in well ventilated areas.

6.22 HOUSEKEEPING
Good housekeeping is fundamental to good safety. Trips, slips and falls can result from poor
housekeeping. It is everybody’s responsibility to ensure that their work areas are kept clean and tidy.
All materials, equipment and tools not in use must be safely stored. All rubbish and waste must be
placed in the bins provided. All aisles and access to fire extinguishers must be kept clear.
Liquid spills must be cleaned up immediately with absorbent material. DO NOT wash the spill into a
drain. Remember that cleaning up after a job is part of doing that job the right way.
WASTE MANAGEMENT
OFFICE SAFETY
8.2 POSTURE
Check your posture before commencing work and adjust your furniture to enable you to maintain a
good posture while working on your keyboard or at your desk. Start by adjusting your seat height
until your feet are flat on the floor, and the floor therefore supports the weight of your legs. This
allows your forearms to be about horizontal while using the keyboard. It is recommended that the
01 July, 2019 Version 1.0 Page | 8-1
OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH & SAFETY HANDBOOK

lumbar curve of the backrest should fit approximately into the lumbar hollow of your back. This
helps to maintain some curvature in the lower back. The weight of the upper body is then taken
through the spine, and a minimum of back muscle effort is required (the upright posture is
recommended for typing).
Avoid musculoskeletal problems, (e.g. stiff neck or shoulders, sore arms or wrists, back pain and
sore legs). Problems occur by repetitive motions, and awkward body positions, as this puts undue
stress on muscles, tendons and nerves. Pressure under the thighs when sitting or concentrated
pressure under the forearms when keying can reduce blood flow and also cause premature tiredness.
Adopting a range of comfortable postures maintains energy and efficiency. Avoid the same posture
for long periods, by ensuring that you take appropriate ‘pause breaks’ (stretch/rest), when a lot of
repetitive motion is necessary. Also, by arranging your work area you should ensure that all
materials, equipment and controls can be easily reached without stretching or twisting. A document
holder is highly recommended when keying from a hard copy, because it minimizes neck flexion. It
should be placed as close to the monitor as possible or be directly in front of you and the monitor to
one side. The aim is to minimize twisting your neck.
When using the telephone, avoid cradling the handpiece between your ear and shoulder which can
lead to neck stiffness. Always hold the handpiece in your hand or else use a head set.
8.2.1 Ensure good posture by:
8.2.1.1 Relaxing shoulders
8.2.1.2 Have elbows level with the home row of keys and to the side of your body
8.2.1.3 Keep wrists straight
8.2.1.4 Make sure you have ample leg room
8.2.1.5 Keep a balanced upright head position
8.2.1.6 Make sure the backrest is supporting your spine
8.2.1.7 Avoid pressure at the front edge of the seat
8.2.1.8 Keep your feet firmly supported
8.2.2 Stretching exercises help to relax muscles which have been working and move those which
have been in a fixed position. If possible, stand up to do your stretches.
8.2.2.1 Do a few of these exercises a few times every day
8.2.2.2 Make sure you relax and perform them gently
8.2.2.3 Hold the stretch or repeat as indicated
8.2.2.4 Do not over-stretch
8.2.2.5 Stop if you feel discomfort when performing an action
monitor at eye level. Have the screen reasonably high as this gives the most scope for tilting it down
in order to minimize any reflections on the screen, usually from bright light through windows or
overhead lights. To avoid window reflections, the windows need to be screened or the computer
repositioned. “Anti-glare” screens can also be used.
The best position for a monitor in an office or workstation is adjacent to windows. If the window is
behind the screen the eyes adjust to the bright light from the window making it harder to read the less
bright display on the screen.
In order to minimize the effects of both reflections and glare, it is useful have a display of high
brightness. A positive image, with black letters on a white background, is best. The positive display
is also well matched to hard copy of black print on white paper, minimizing the needs for the eyes to
adjust when shifting attention one to the other.
8.3.1 Easy Office Stretches. Take a few minutes to relieve eye strain:
8.3.1.1 Blink your eyes often and take a break by alternating tasks when necessary.
8.3.1.2 Now and then, focus on an object at least 6 meters away.
8.3.1.3 Close your eyes and breathe deeply for 30-60 seconds.
UNACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOUR
The following behavior is unacceptable and in the interests of you, your fellow employees and workforce
will not be tolerated:
9.1. Horseplay and practical jokes.
9.2. Fighting or instigating a fight.
9.3. Assaulting, threatening or interfering with other employees.

areas and utility buildings within KFIA in accordance to the Fire Strategy report.
11.2.7 All contractor drivers must be escorted by a qualified vehicle operator and undergo airside
driver training and testing.
11.2.8 Access routes should be agreed to and clearly identified to minimize interference with the
operation on the airport.
11.2.9 Staff access routes should also be agreed to and if such a route does not exist, then a risk
assessment should be undertaken to ensure access can be achieved safely.
11.2.10 Hours of operation should be agreed upon.
11.2.11 Service clearance checks (underground locates) should be undertaken before work
commences to ensure cables or pipes are not damaged.
