RISK ASSESSMENT FOR MUSCULAR SKELETAL DISORDERS

 RISK ASSESSMENT FOR MUSCULAR SKELETAL DISORDERS  

Construction workers are always at a high risk of Muscular Skeletal Disorders. The lifting, loading, unloading, or working at height including scaffolds, ladders, or other platforms can cause MUSCULAR SKELETAL DISORDERS-MSD issues. The following risk assessment will help you how to assess the MSD's issues and control measures.

Identified Hazards

Muscular Skeletal Disorders (MSDs)

Hazard Control Measures

1. Scaffolding will be erected with the aid of educated and able humans the usage of undamaged and functioning substances or gadgets.
2. Scaffolding shall now not be erected if floor degrees and surfaces aren't suitable for supporting the shape all through the works.
3. Tube and fitting scaffolding shall not be used if it does not have a scaffold register on-site indicating that it has been inspected in the last 7 days by a competent person.
4. Do not use the scaffold if a Scaftag machine is in use which suggests that it has now not been inspected in the ultimate 7 days.
5. Operatives shall be instructed not to lean out from the scaffolding while it is being used
6. Only use the safe access provided. 
7. Do now not traverse the scaffold use of the guardrails etc.
8. There will be well-known supervision to make sure that scaffolding is used effectively, for example, Accessed only by using the inner ladder and so on.
9. Ladders shall be removed outside of work hours and shall be placed in a secure area to prevent access to the scaffold by third parties. 
10. Scaffolding (tube and becoming) shall no longer be tampered with or altered by using somebody who isn't in a position. The scaffold employer or the worksite online manager is to be contacted if changes or adjustments are required.
11. Do Not Remove Scaffold Ties.
12. Keep operating platforms clean and tidy and do not allow substances or waste to build upon them.
13. Where necessary, limitations are to be placed around scaffolding to prevent unauthorized entry into dangerous regions.
14. When running around scaffolding hard hats are to be worn always.
15. If you require mono-flex or particle netting to be introduced to the scaffold, contact the scaffolding organization as additional ties will be required.
16. If the usage of the scaffold is for the first time, make certain that a hand-over certificate has been issued and coordinate who shall project the essential weekly and day-by-day inspections.
17. Loading-bay is to be capable of withstanding hundreds with check couplers to minimize tube slipping.
18. The loading face must be fitted with gates or another suitable barrier that is controlled from the working platform without the need for the person to lean off the open edge.
19. Loading-bay gates are to remain closed except whilst loading or unloading materials in the taking area.
