🔖 The International Labour Organization (ILO) has published a code of practice that sets out principles concerning safety and health in the use of machinery. The code defines safety and health requirements and precautions applicable to governments, workers and employers, and also to designers, manufacturers and suppliers of machinery . The ILO is a specialized agency of the United Nations that promotes decent work and social justice. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) recommends that safeguards be put in place to protect workers from injury. Any machine part, function, or process that might cause injury should be safeguarded. When the operation of a machine may result in a contact injury to the operator or others in the area, the hazard should be removed or controlled . The ILO has also published a guide for labour inspectors on machinery, plant and equipment. The guide explains why machinery safety is important and how moving machinery can cause injuries in many ways. People can be struck and injured by moving parts of machinery or ejected material. Parts of the body can also be drawn in or trapped between rollers, belts and pulley drives .

When it comes to unloading, loading, and handling tasks, safety isn't just a box to check – 𝗶𝘁'𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗴𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲!⚠️ Let's kick off with some key tips following our post yesterday ⬇️ ✅ Prioritise planning and organisation to streamline operations ✅ Use mechanical aids whenever possible to reduce manual handling risks ✅ Always maintain clear communication among team members to ensure everyone is on the same page.

❗Safety is more than just rules. It involves creating an environment where employees feel secure. This can be achieved through regular safety training, provision of personal protective equipment, and implementation of emergency response procedures. In industries like construction and manufacturing, where physical risks are higher, safety measures should be stringent and regularly reviewed. Does your employer do any of the above? Are you actually safe at your workplace? Lets talk! Visit www.finesseconsults.co #SafeworkplacesUganda #hse
