We recently had this video sent through to our team showcasing the excellent work our injury prevention team did with our clients UGL Unipart Rail Services Pty Ltd that resulted in winning the SafeWork awards.

Some great insights here from Haydn Tawse, Chris Poole and the team at UGL around the process of risk reduction and continuous improvement. Shane Rose additionally noted that this is a fantastic example outlining how our team utilise a participatory approach to reducing musculoskeletal disorder risk, spending time on the worksite with our clients employees to get an accurate understanding of manual task risk.
👀 Did you know our team have a track record of reducing musculoskeletal injury risk in dating back to 2010? We strive to go above and beyond to help our clients implement high level controls and reduce their risk of hazardous manual tasks. Many of our injury prevention consultants have worked across heavy maintenance, rail operations, wagon and locomotive maintenance and even at some of the long running wheel lines across the country.
👉 In this case we helped develop a purpose-built scissor lift to eliminate the hazardous, manual task of workers lifting a 38kg plate over their heads in an awkward position during rail track installation, which risked a potential crush injury should the plate fall. The injury prevention team worked with our onsite physio team to ensure a process of continuous improvement was implemented, consultation with the workers and overall risk reduction. Our onsite physio continues to work with these teams to ensure any niggles experienced are proactively addressed and workers engage in daily injury prevention activities to keep their bodies injury free.
💥 An amazing example of onsite injury prevention in action.
