A Guide for Steel Safety

A Guide for Steel Safety

Metal Manufacturing Industry Guide to Safety 2013/14 – Released

The Commonwealth, state and territory governments have agreed to harmonised work health and safety
laws to improve work health and safety, provide consistent protection for Australian workers and reduce the regulatory burden. This includes any worker, contractor or manager working within the metal
manufacturing and steel fabrication industry. With this in mind, Pro-Visual Publishing, along with the
Australian Industry Group, is pleased to announce the recent release of the newest edition of the Metal
Manufacturing Industry Guide to Safety.

Safety is imperative. So whether it comes down to storing, manufacturing and managing the metal refining process, safety is a priority in all work policies and procedures. And this is everyone’s responsibility. All Australian jurisdictions are committed to the prevention of workplace deaths, injuries and illness. 

The storing of steel poses numerous potential problems that may easily lead to injury if appropriate provision is not made. Hazards include the potential for steel in its various forms to roll, slip, and slide or fall over if not suitably restrained. Furthermore, machines generally have the potential to cause injury to workers and those in the vicinity of the machine. Hazardous noise can also destroy the ability to hear clearly and can make it more difficult to hear sounds necessary for working safely.

For all these potential problems the Metal Manufacturing Industry Guide to Safety provides easy-to-read guidelines to identify, manage and control risks and hazards that arise in the workplace.

“I would like to thank all of the sponsors of the Metal Manufacturing Industry Guide to Safety 2013/14. Their support has made it possible for the guide to be distributed free of charge”, said John Hutchings, CEO, Pro-Visual Publishing.
