The three key elements needed to bring about a safe manual handling policy are proper training for employees on safe lifting techniques, regular risk assessments to identify hazards, and providing appropriate equipment or tools to reduce the risk of injuries.
Manual handling involves using physical force to move objects by hand, while manual lifting aids like trolleys or pallet jacks assist in moving loads manually. Mechanical lifting aids such as forklifts or hoists use machinery to lift and move objects, reducing the physical strain on workers. It is important to assess the task and use the appropriate method or aid to prevent injuries and ensure safe handling of loads.
Rules that keep you safe.
The largest weight of a load that is safe to lift regardless of the angle of the crane's arm is typically determined by the crane's maximum lifting capacity, which is specified by the manufacturer and should not be exceeded for safety reasons. It is important to always refer to the crane's load charts and operating manual to ensure safe lifting operations.
