Health, Safety & Environmental Bulletin No 342

07 February 2013

Lifting Operation Injury

Please see enclosed self-explanatory bulletin that was shared with us by Johnson Controls.

This incident highlights the need to always check that the lifting equipment used is suitable and
sufficient for the task. All lifting eyes, chains, shackles etc must be examined and the test certificates
checked and a lift plan carried out.

Do not attempt to improvise if you have not suitable lifting equipment or the lifting bar is
compromised. If you are unable to perform the lift correctly, do not proceed and contact your line
manager.

We are all a product of learning. Every skill we have; everything we know; everything we believe and everything
we do has been learned throughout the course of our lives. Some of us learn best by studying graphs and
charts, some through visual presentations, and some by reading detailed text books. It is important that we
receive information in a format that works for us as individuals! That’s why at Xmo Strata we use a variety of
communication platforms such as bulletins, newsletters, videos etc. However, if you feel there is a better way for
us to share health and safety information, please let us know. Ultimately, your safety is in your hands – but we
will do all we can to keep you well informed!
