Jennifer Brown ● Emerald Dove Chalcophaps indica ● Husbandry manual Occupational Health and Safety Risks Every t ask involves r isk. The i nformation an d p rocedures i n this manual sh ould o nly be carried out following the policies and guidelines of the individuals’ workplace. The current O H&S Act and Re gulations for NS.W. which should b e adhered to i n the workplace can be found at www.legislation.nsw.gov.au. Before any procedures are carried out a safety/risk assessment of the operation should be carried out. See Appendix 1 f or a s afety/risk assessm ent sh eet (ACT Work S afety C ommissioner, 2 010). Appropriate PPE should also be used for each activity carried out. Manual handling is the largest risk that arises most often in the workplace environment. This can be easily reduced by using approved lifting technique such as lifting with your knees and not your back. Ensuring the workplace is ergonomic in design as well as using mechanical aids where ev er possible. Ot her hazards can be in the form of chemical, biological, p sychological as wel l as p hysical and should be addressed and assesse d before any procedure is carried out. Another i mportant but o ften underestimated o r o verlook r isk t o c onsider, are t he animals themselves that are in our care. These animals pose a risk to themselves, their keepers, bystanders and the public. This risk must always be kept in mind and ways to minimize it are put into action. iii
