Designing safe
workplaces
This area of my work is about designing
safe workplaces.
Hazards and risks
need to be identified according to statutory requirements. Risks should be controlled by design where
possible. Consultation is key to finding and implementing good solutions.
My work has been in many industries:
·
Manufacturing
·
Agriculture
·
Construction
·
Road
transport
·
Air
transport
·
Mining
·
Retail
·
Food
In nearly every
industry manual handling is a significant problem.
However I have
been involved in the development of solutions for many other hazards such as:
·
Safe
Plant and Equipment
·
Physical
Workspace Issues
·
Falls
from Height, Slips, Trips on Level, etc
