Safe Use
Risks can vary greatly. What important is, whoever has to
use any tool or piece of equipment as part of their job does so with
care. To ensure safe use, employers must orient workers and provide
suitable information. They must also check that workers have the
appropriate qualifications to use intricate tools and equipment. In
addition, as part of their health and safety strategy employers should
offer orientation and training. This isn’t necessary for basic items,
but when certain tools and equipment change, orientation and
orientation improves skills and reminds users of safety procedures.
Material handling safety
Handling material is a daily function in the workplace. All too
often it is a task taken for granted, with little knowledge of or
attention to the consequences if done incorrectly.
The National Safety Council offers tips on the following:
Power Lifting
Protect Yourself
 Use the correct hand protection; wear gloves to prevent cuts.
 Wear safety shoes to prevent injury to your feet from a dropped
item.
Size up the Load
A. Determine if you can carry a load comfortably; tip it on its side.
B. Get help if the load is too big or bulky for one person.
C. Check for nails, splinters, rough strapping, and rough edges.
Lift It Right
 Make sure your footing is solid.
 Keep your back straight, with no curving or slouching.
 Center your body over your feet.
 Get a good grasp on the object and pull it close to you.
 Lift with your legs, not your back.
 Move your feet to turn. Don't twist your back.
 Tough Lifting Jobs
Oversized Loads

 Work as a team. Lift, walk, and lower the load together.
Let one person give the directions and direct the lift.

High Loads

your shoulders.
Get as close as you can to the load.
Slide the load toward you.
Do all the work with your arms and legs, not your back.
