Hazardous manual tasks, meaning tasks involving repetitive or sustained force, high or sudden force, repetitive movement, sustained or awkward posture or vibration, are common in the industry, and people handling, any activity where a person is physically moved, supported or restrained, is one of the most common causes of musculoskeletal disorders. Common examples include people handling, laundering linen, catering and cooking, and medical and diagnostic tasks. The PCBU must manage the musculoskeletal risk, having regard to postures, movements, forces and vibration, duration and frequency, environmental conditions, work area design, layout (space for hoists, walking aids and bariatric equipment), systems of work (staffing, training, rostering, pre-visit assessments, bariatric care plans) and the nature of what is handled, including the characteristics of the person handled. Controls follow the hierarchy and involve consultation, including the person handled, family, carers and service providers where appropriate. Musculoskeletal risk is not part of the job. No worker should lift or restrain a person other than a small infant alone: provide transfer devices such as hoists, raising aids, slides and electric beds, keep them well maintained, provide enough workers and train them in use and maintenance.
