Manual handling injuries can occur
wherever people are at work
Lifting of objects that can involve
difficult and heavy lifts which may
well lead to a back injury.
M
Wherever possible avoid the need for manual handling.
When manual handling cannot be avoided, ensure an adequate risk assessment is carried out and
control measures introduced to reduce the risk to an acceptable level.
Always consider use mechanical lifting equipment and appliances in preference to manual handling
for heavy, bulky and awkward loads.
Reduce the risk of injury by ensuring all identified control measures are applied, in order to minimise
the likelihood of back injury or other strain injuries.
Operatives must be trained in good manual handling techniques
Do not reach with your back bent if possible.
Great care should be taken when lifting any object.
If the lift is too heavy for one person get assistance e.g. team lift, two-man lift.
Do not lift with your back bent or over reach, the correct posture and technique is essential.

Musculoskeletal Injuries resulting
from operating machine.
H
The machine must only be used by a trained and competent person; the machine must only be used
for its intended use. Operatives must ensure they have a firm grip moving the machine in a forward
direction. L
Entrapment of the feet from
vibrating machine
H
The operative must ensure that their feet are kept a safe distance from the vibrating plates. Never
attempt added extra thrust to the operations by placing a foot on the machine. Take extra care of
other operatives in the immediate area.
L
Being struck by object ejecting
from the vibrating process
H
Always check the area to be compacted before the task begins remove any unwanted material such
as brick or pieces of metal. Make certain that only tarmac is to b e compacted.
L
Risk of vibration white finger due
to prolonged use of the machine
M
Only use the machine on the duration recommended by the manufacture.
Wear the recommended gloves. If in doubt on the duration seek further advice.

A site specific Method Statement will be produced by a competent person identifying potential hazards and the control measures required. The Method Statement should take account of:- the
nature of the ground; soil structure and ground water regime; depth of the excavation; nature of the work within the excavation; location and surrounding area.
All excavation work must be properly supervised and personnel must be trained and competent.
A Permit to Work system will be used where necessary - All excavation work will be carried out in accordance with the guidance contained in HSG 185.
Collapse of the sides
Collapse of sides can bury
operatives working in the trench
H
Walls should be dug at a safe angle (between 5 and 45 depending on the soil structure and dryness) or
protected from collapse by the installation of proper shoring equipment such as trench boxes.
Even shallow trenches may need support if the work involves bending or kneeling in the trench
Spoil or equipment must not be stored near to the opening (at least 1.5 metres from the edge or a distance
equal to the depth of the excavation)
Adjacent buildings will be properly supported to prevent collapse the advice of a Structural Engineer will
be sought if necessary
Machinery must not be operated near to the edge of the trench stop blocks will be fitted where necessary
L
Falls/ Falling Objects
Falls of people, materials or plant
machines into excavations
H
Trenches should be thought of as Working at Heights proper side protection must be installed

examinations will be made following a collapse, adverse weather etc
Appropriate warning signage will be displayed.
A proper means of access and egress will be available personnel must not climb on side supports etc.
L
Confined Space
Asphyxiation/ oxygen deficiency
natural gas i.e. Methane, fumes
from plant.
H
Plant machines and generators etc not allowed to work near excavations.
Suitable and sufficient access egress arrangements in excavations.
Adequate ventilation and air monitoring, particularly when using gas welding equipment.

emergency services to supply this facility
L
Live Services
Electrical (shock)
Water(flooding/ drowning)
Sewage (micro organisms)
