Manual Handling hazards and risks

Common Types of Hazard and Injury

Sprains-70% result of lifting Stains - 70% result of lifting Musculoskeletal disorder Heavy manual labor-back pain Repetitive-muscle strain to

prolapsed discs etc. Poor posture Bending Stopping and working beyond

individual limits


Assessment of Manual Handing Risks-TILEO Task-how often, how much twisting or bending is needed? Individual capability male or female, old or young, experienced or

inexperienced? Load-how heavy? Good grip? Heavier at one end? Environment-hot, cold, uneven floor, windy, stairs? Other factors-PPE.

Manual Handling hazards and risks Task:

Holding loads away from the body Twisting/Stooping Reaching upwards Long travel distances Large vertical movements Pushing or pulling Repetitive handling Insufficient rest/recovery A work rate imposed

6

Manual Handling hazards and risks Individual Factors

Does the job: Require unusual strength or size Require special training Present a problem to vulnerable employees (New/Expectant

Mothers, young, disable, health problems)

Load factors: Heavy Bulky Difficult to grasp Unstable/unpredictable Harmful (e.g. sharp/hot)

Environment FactorsAre there: Constraints on posture Poor floors Variations in levels Hot/cold/rain/icy/humid conditions Strong air movements Poor lighting

Other factors: Personal Protective Equipment Is the job monotonous, boring or stressful

Minimizing Manual Handling Risk

Means of Minimizing the Risks Mechanical Assistant :forklift

truck, hoist(подъемник),sack truck (тележка).

Reduce weight of load Reduce carrying distances Add handles Raise heights/store goods at

waist height Improve environment-lighting,

heating etc. Provide information on weight of

loads Training and supervision

8


Techniques for Manual LiftingManual handling risk should cover: Manual handling risk factors Common injuries from manual handling Safe lifting technique Appropriate systems of work for the individuals work environment Use of mechanical aids Practical demonstrations and assessment

9


Think before lifting/Handling: Can handling aids be used? Where is the load going to be placed? Will help be needed with the load? Remove obstructions such as discarded wrapping materials For a long lift, consider resting the load midway on a table or bench to

change grip

10


Keep the load close to the waist: Keep the load closed to the body for as possible while lifting Keep the heaviest side of the load next to the body If a close approach to the load is not possible, try to slide it towards

the body before attempting to lift it.

11


Adopt a stable position: The feet should be apart with one leg slightly forward to maintain

balance ( along the load, if it is on the ground) The worker should be prepared to move their feet during the lift to

main maintain their stability Avoid tight clothing or unsuitable footwear, which may make this

difficult

12


Start in a good postureAt the start of the lift, slight bending of the back, hips and knees is preferable to fully flexing the back ( stooping) or full flexing the hips and knees ( squatting)

Avoid twisting the back or learning sideways, especially while the back is bent: Shoulders should be kept level and

facing in the same direction as the hips. Turning by moving the feet better than

twisting and lifting at the same time

13


Keep the head up when handling: look ahead, not down at the load, once it has been held securely.

Move Smoothly Don’t lift handle more

between what people can be easily managed.

Put down, then adjust

Safety in the Use of Lifting and Moving Equipment

17

Crane, Forklift trucks, lifts, hoists and Mobile Elevator Working Platforms (MEWPS)

Chains, slings, shackles, eye bolts
