The most common injuries from manual handling are sprain or strain, often to the back. Sprain and strains arise from incorrect application of bodily force, poor posture and H E A L T H , S A F E T Y A N D E N V I R O N M E N T P L A N e g c

excessive repetition of movement can be important factors in their on set.

Many manual handling injuries are cumulative rather than being attributable to any single handling incident. A full recovery is not always made and the result can be physical impairment or even permanent disability.

Hands, arms and feet are also vulnerable and poor handling can also put excessive stress on the knees.

While doing material handling, following points shall be in mind;

1Ensure that you know your physical limitations and the approximate weight of materials.

2. The use of power equipment or mechanical lifting devices should be considered and employed where practical.

3. Obtain assistance in lifting heavy objects.

4. Ensure a good grip before lifting and employ proper lifting technique.

5. Avoid reaching out.

6. Pipes, conduit, reinforcing rods and other conductive materials should not be carried on the shoulder near exposed live electrical equipment or conductors.

16.1.2. Workers must be aware of both manual handling safety

concerns and safe equipment operating techniques.

16.1.3. Employees should avoid overloading equipment when moving materials mechanically by letting the weight, size, and shape of the material being moved dictate the type of equipment used.

16.1.4. All Materials handling equipment has rated capacities that determine the maximum weight the equipment can safely handle and the conditions under which it can handle that weight.

16.1.5 Center the load on the forks as close to the mast as possible to minimize the potential for the truck tipping or the load falling,

Stacking materials can be dangerous if workers do not follow safety guidelines. Falling materials and collapsing loads can crush or pin workers, causing injuries or death.

To help prevent injuries when stacking materials, workers must do the following:

Stack lumber no more than 16 feet high if it is handled manually, and no more than 20 feet if using a forklift;

■ Remove all nails from used lumber before stacking;

■ Stack and level lumber on solidly supported bracing;

■ Ensure that stacks are stable and self-supporting;
