Sydney Rubbish Removal: The Importance of Health and Safety

The most important thing when it comes to rubbish removal in Sydney is health and safety.

At Sydney City Rubbish, we understand that it’s essential that our staff and anyone in the vicinity of a waste removal project, are safe at all times.

Unfortunately, not every junk removal company in Sydney is as clued in as we are about health and safety practices.

There are many things to look out for on a waste removal project. Here are just some of those risk factors, and how we deal with them.

Heavy Lifting

Virtually every rubbish removal project that we undertake involves some kind of heavy lifting.

Our workers often find themselves carrying and disposing of heavy items such as furniture, appliances and boxes.

When people lift and carry heavy items like this they can be at serious risk of injury to the back and other parts of the body.

This is why our employees are highly trained in heavy lifting, ensuring that the chance of injury is as little as possible.

Use of Tools and Equipment

Our workers often use tools and equipment to remove certain types of waste.

If not used properly, these tools can cause serious injury. That’s why our employees have plenty of expertise and experience in operating these tools.

Concrete cutters, cranes and other equipment must be operated by trained workers, to avoid the possibility of injury.

Spills, Trips and Falls

Trip and fall injuries are common when dealing with waste removal, particularly in an area that is cluttered with all sorts of rubbish.

Thankfully, at Sydney City Rubbish, our staff ensure that every worksite is as orderly as possible. That means they and anyone else in the area will be able to avoid trip and fall injuries.

Sharp and Hazardous Objects

Rubbish removal and office strip-out projects can involve sharp objects like metal, tiles and plastics. As well as that, we also remove hazardous materials.

It’s imperative that you hire a rubbish removal company that handles all of this potentially dangerous waste with the utmost care.

At Sydney City Rubbish, we’ve got you covered.
