The level of risk has not changed. Remember how your first time on a busy worksite felt, all those things going on around you. That level of danger is still there. As you have become constantly exposed to it your mind starts to ignore things it thinks are no longer relevant so you have to consciously pay attention to the ever-changing worksite environment. This is how many of the common injuries happen, the brain switches off and you go into \u2018autopilot\u2019.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Here are some of the most common incidents:\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Hitting your body on an object<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> &#8211; This can be anything from hitting your head on scaffolding, grazing your leg on a waratah, or catching your arm on a protruding object.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Manual handling<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> &#8211; Lower back strains and sprains, shoulder injuries, torn muscles, and ligaments. Muscle injuries can have lengthy healing times and can be crippling.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Staple\/nail guns<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> &#8211; Lack of regular equipment servicing, sufficient training, and PPE can result in penetration injuries which are most common in the hands. These injuries can cause permanent damage, and nails are difficult to remove due to the heat-activated coating on the nails that causes them to bond. Staples can be difficult especially if they have hit the bone and have embedded or the staples have closed.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Hand tools<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> &#8211; These are the most commonly used tools such as hammers, hand saws, angle grinders, pliers etc. Tools are regularly dropped or misused.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Slips\/trips<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> &#8211; Uneven ground surfaces, poor housekeeping, incorrect footwear, and weather conditions are common reasons for slips and trips.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Corrective actions and recommendations:<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><b>Hit body on object &#8211; corrective actions and recommendations<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Plan tasks prior to carrying them out<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Assess the surroundings and adjust work tasks accordingly<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Take time navigating around the site<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Check to see if any surfaces, sharp edges or protruding objects need to be protected or removed<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Think about what you\u2019re doing, not what you\u2019re going to do<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Manual handling &#8211; corrective actions and recommendations<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Plan lifts prior to lifting loads, and ensure thoroughfare is clear\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Warm up\/stretch before each work day and after rest periods (lunch) &#8211; especially when the weather is colder\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Use mechanical aids to assist with lifting wherever possible<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Do not lift beyond abilities.
