OHS TIP
​
Take Regular Breaks:
You will be less aware of your surroundings when feeling burned out or tired and this can be a common cause of workplace injuries. Pushing yourself past your limit can be fatal when working in an environment where your safety relies on your focus. ​
​
Regular breaks can help boost your energy so you stay energised and alert on the job. It is especially important to take short breaks when you have a task that requires repetitive movements over a long period of time.

OHS TIP

Use Mechanical Aids When Possible
