Acknowledgments

Loans and Shelving Staff

Loans and Shelving staff have been the driving force behind these guidelines and have offered myriad ideas to make the Library a safer place to work.

Learning Services

Special thanks to David Black for supervising the project and for his encouragement.

Sharon Coulter for her assistance in editing the first draft and giving technical help.
Karen Larsen for her assistance in developing the "Assembling and Dismantling" training section.
Colin Bates, John Berry, Georgina Bourke, Margit Gailis, Karen McMahon, Helen Smith, Debbie Stewart, Barry Tucker, Michael Wood and Janine Young for their helpful comments.

Ian Fox, David Owies, Glenn McNotly, Roy Walshe and Tim Alexander from the Interactive Media Group, Merja Boekel from Desktop Publishing and Catherine Paton from Editorial Services for transforming a simple training program into this dynamic visual feast.

WorkCover

I wish to acknowledge WorkCover’s generosity in allowing me to use their publications and their editorial guidance. Without this contribution from WorkCover these guidelines would not have been as informative and illustrative. Many sections of WorkCover documents have been copied directly into these guidelines. Thank you to Andrew Buzacott, Carolyn Kennedy and Ros Kushinsky for their encouragement and guidance in developing these guidelines.

Vice-Chancellor Professional Development Awards

The Vice-Chancellor Professional Development Awards for General Staff for the seeding grant. If the grant had not been received the guidelines would not have been developed.

Deakin University Divisions

Peter McGlone and John Robinson from the OH&S Unit (HRSD) for their assistance.

Audio Visual Services (B&G) for the loan of photographic equipment.

Libraries and Staff

I would like to acknowledge the co-operation and contributions of many Libraries from Australia and New Zealand. They contributed comments, ideas, advice and best of all, encouragement, throughout this project.

Special thanks to Debbie Hill from Adelaide Institute of TAFE, Janice Farrelly and Philip Jane from Canterbury University, Chris Baxter and Debbie Dawson from Christchurch City Libraries and Jenny McCarthy from Queensland University of Technology.
