Manual Handling
Policy
Murdoch University is committed to ensuring that so far as
is practicable its employees are not exposed to workplace hazards that have the
potential to cause manual handling injuries.
The Universities Occupational Safety and Health Policy
acknowledges its statutory responsibilities to ensure that its employees,
students, contractors and visitors (where applicable) are provided with adequate
training, information, instruction and supervision to undertake their work tasks
in a safe working manner.
The University will adopt as a guide to the
process of identifying, assessing and controlling manual handling risks in the
workplace the Western Australian Manual Handling Code of Practice published by
Worksafe.
