The first thing i done in this task was to read the job sheet to find out what i was going to be doing. I found out that i was going to be carrying 25kg of ballast bags from outside to a workshop and back again.
I then had to fill out a risk assessment on my partner to see if he was able to carry out the task. After i knew we were both able to carry out the task i had to fill out another risk assessment but this one was on the actual task in hand, we had to make sure we had done things like wearing correct PPE, avoid any exteme body movment that could cause damage to your body and made the load easier to lift such as the correct way to carry it, also we had to note the control measures with moving ballast bags, my control measures were to wear correct PPE which was steel toe cap boots, gloves and goggles to protect feet from falling bags, hands from rubbing on the bags and goggles if any bags were split and the sharp uncleaned ballast hits eyes. After this was done i checked the delivery note to see if we had the coreect material and quantity, i had to change the quantity from 12 to 30 to make sure the boss knew there was more than what was supposed to, once this changes were made i was able to sign the ticket.
Before i started the task i checked the access route to ensure there were no obstructions, once i knew it was all safe i put on correct PPE which were steel toe cap boots which protect feet from falling ballast, goggles for any bit of ballast hitting eyes and gloves so hands do not rub on the bags.
Finally i was able to start with the task, i learnt the correct way to carry the bags which was to put it over the shoulder so both ends of the ballast were on the front and back so the weight was evened each side. i carried the ballast bags from outside to the workshop, stacked them and then carried them back. once this task was done i cleaned up any mess i made and reported to the boss to say the job was finished.
