Moving 1 Ton of Ballast

I had to check the delivery sheet and make sure the details were correct, once I checked that I had to shovel the ballast from the bag into a wheelbarrow. Then moved that into a pile on the other side of the road in between two cones. Once the bag has been emptied into the piles, I had to shovel all of the ballast back into the wheelbarrow, take that back to the bag and fill up the bag again. Correct P.P.E was Gloves, Goggles and Boots. Gloves are to protect from sharp objects from piercing the skin, Goggles are to protect your eyes being damaged from the dust, and the boots are to protect your feet from being crushed by heavy objects being dropped.
