Do you know what body positioning is right for your job?

Have you been informed that awkward body postures may affect your upper and lower limbs or spine?

For manual handling, did you know that the heavier the load that is carried in front of the body, the closer it should be to the body?

In case you use hand-held machinery, such as pneumatic rock drills and pick-hammers, do you take regular breaks?

Have you checked if the hand-held equipment you use has vibration-damping such as anti-vibration handles?

Has the equipment you use been properly maintained to minimise vibration levels?

In case you use a vehicle in the mine such as a truck or an excavator, is the seat of the vehicle adjustable?
