Heavy lifting when removing auger from hole Moderate to high depending on your experience Moderate to high Back strain Never use a hammer if other people are near you Never use a second geological hammer as a chisel Never hammer under an overhang or on a loose rock face Consider wearing thick gloves to protect your hands Carry out a visual inspection before handing specimens, do not hold the sharp edges and take care when handing specimens to other students Wear stout gloves when hammering “hard rocks” Do not discard rock fragments with sharp edges in fields where they will be a hazard to livestock and wildlife
