LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET No. 4

MATERIALS SAFE HANDLING AND STORAGE

Background Information for Learners:

Materials  Is a technique, which includes the art of lifting, placing, storing or
Handling and movement of materials using one’s physical strength or appropriate
Storage handling equipment,
Manual  MMH means moving or handling things by lifting, lowering, pushing,
Materials pulling, carrying, holding, or restraining using one’s physical strength.
Handling  LIFTING GUIDELINES
 Before lifting…
 Always check to see if mechanical aids such as hoists lift trucks, etc.
 Get help with heavy or awkward loads.
 Assess and identify the weight of the load.
 Be sure that you can lift the load without over-exertion.
 Be sure that the load is "free" to move.
 Check the planned location of the load is free of obstacles and debris.
 Be sure that the path to the planned location of the load is clear.
 Particular handling and lifting techniques are needed for different kinds of
loads or materials being handled
 Do not lift if you are not sure that you can handle the load safely.
 GENERAL TIPS FOR LIFTING
 Examine the load and the surrounding area prior to lifting.
 Prepare for the lift by warming up the muscles.
 Stand close to the load and face the way you intend to move.
 Use a wide stance to gain balance.
 Be sure you have a good grip on the load.
 Look forward to keep back straight
 Keep arms straight.
 Tighten abdominal muscles.
 Tuck chin into the chest.
 Initiate the lift with body weight.
 Use muscle power of the legs in lifting
 Lift the load as close to the body as possible.
 Lift smoothly without jerking.
 Avoid twisting and side bending while lifting.
Mechanical  This pertains to use of rigid, manually or mechanically powered equipment
Materials mainly for handling bulky and heavy items.
Handling 1. Manually powered materials handling equipment – It reduces physical
effort, making materials handling easier and safer.
2. Mechanically powered materials handling equipment – Lift and move.
a. Lifting equipment includes a variety of items for lifting heavy and bulky
items with minimal human intervention such as hoists and cranes.
b. Transport equipment, on the other hand, consists of forklifts, dump trucks,
trailers and conveyors among others.

Workspace  Workspace is the area within which you perform the tasks that add up to
Lay-Out your job. The layout or organization of the work area must allow materials
to be handled without excessive bending, twisting and stretching reduces
injuries.
 Have all materials at work level.
 Use adjustable elements at the workplace.
 Workbench with adjustable height and tilt improves working position.
 Self-adjusting platform automatically matches worker's height.
 Ensure that there is enough room to turn around to prevent twisting.
 Use adjustable supports or suspenders to operate heavy tools.
 Tool suspender reduces muscular effort and compression on the back.
 Tool support eliminates over-stretching and overreaching.
 Lift-and-tilt device and side opening on bin reduces bending.
 Use bins that allow easy access.
Materials  Materials storage when neglected, it leads to cluttering, piling of one
Storage material over another and obstruction of passageways.
1. Materials should be stored neatly and orderly.
2. Materials should be stored in limited amounts.
3. Materials must not obstruct alarm boxes, sprinkler system control, first aid
equipment, fuse boxes and importantly, aisles and exits.
 THINGS TO REMEMBER WHEN SETTING UP A STORAGE AREA
 Store materials at a convenient height.
 Leave the lowest shelf unused if necessary.
 Use vertically mobile shelves to avoid bending and overhead reaching.
 Use bin racks for storing small items.
 Store heavy and frequently used materials at waist height.
 Do not store materials at floor level.
 Use hand trucks with elevating devices in storage and loading areas.
 Use trucks with a tilting device to avoid bending.
 Use elevating platforms to avoid overhead reaching.
 REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF TIMES MATERIAL IS MOVED OR HANDLED
 Use rollers to eliminate manual lifting and carrying.
 Use floor rollers while loading or unloading trucks to reduce lifting.
 Use a sliding bed while loading and unloading small trucks to avoid
overreaching and carrying in an awkward position.
 Eliminate extra loading or unloading steps where possible.
Unload as close as possible to the place where material will be needed.
 Use ramps to avoid lifting and dragging over edges.
 Use containers that allow fluids to pour or empty without lifting the
container.
