TOOLBOX TALK 8

MANUAL HANDLING OF EQUIPMENT

 Check the sign. Is it heavy bulky or unwieldy, difficult to grasp,


unstable, or with contents likely to shift. Is it sharp, hot or
otherwise potentially damaging?
 Where possible gloves should be worn to protect against cuts,
scratches or punctures wounds.
 Wear safety boots or shoes to protect toes from falling loads.
 Size up the load and if necessary, make a trial lift of a few
inches.
 Do not attempt to lift alone any load that is too heavy, too large
or awkward.
 Is there a lack of space, which will prevent good posture? See
that there are no obstructions, uneven, slippery, and unstable
or variations in the levels of floors or work surfaces in the
direction you will be going.
 Take up lifting position, feet about hip breadth apart, one foot
slightly in front of the other pointing in direction you are
intending to move.
 Bend the knees, back muscles should be relaxed.
 Get a secure grip of the sign.
 Lift, keeping the back straight, arms close to body, chin in head
up, leg muscles taking the strain.
 Step off in the direction the advanced foot is pointing, sign held
close to the body.
 Do not carry a sign, which obscures your vision.
 When lifting to a height from the floor do it in two stages if possible.
 Where possible get some to give you a hand to half the load.
