Australia Model Code of Practice: Hazardous Manual Tasks 4.2: 4.2 Purchase equipment that reduces manual task risk

Before purchasing tools, containers, workstations, machinery and vehicles, identify hazards and the controls needed and check the item is designed to be used safely and fits workers' needs. Where possible brief designers and engineers on manual task implications, review designer, manufacturer, importer or supplier information about features that remove or reduce manual tasks, talk to suppliers about handling, delivery and storage needs, consult workers and HSRs, compare with similar workplaces and industry guidelines, trial equipment before buying, buy ergonomically designed tools and equipment to suit the work and the workers, and check vibration specifications.
