Question

How many kilos a removalist can carry by law?

Answer 1

In Many States Here In Australia There Is No Maximum Weight Given As Some People May Not Be Able To Handle That Weight. The Employer Is Responsible For Ensuring That You Have The Correct Equipment For The Job And In Cases Where No Mechanical Lifting Gear Is Provided, There Is A Large Enough Team To Handle Objects. It Is The Employees Responsibility To Know Their Own Limits And Ask For Assistance If Necessary.

In NSW Weights Over 55kg Should Not Be Lifted Without Mechanical Assistance Or Team Lifting.
