Checklist: Manual Handling



With many Australians now working from home, improper workstation setups and prolonged sitting are leading to discomfort and potential musculoskeletal disorders. It’s crucial to address early signs of pain by adjusting your workstation ergonomically, regularly changing positions, and incorporating movement to prevent serious injury.
Warehouse and office shelving can pose safety risks such as reaching or bending injuries, climbing accidents, falling objects, and unstable structures.
The National Construction Code (NCC) outlines minimum standards for building safety, health, and sustainability in Australia, and adherence is crucial for compliance. When challenges arise, professional guidance from experts can help address non-compliance through alternative solutions and ensure designs meet the required standards.
