Study Notes

Material Handling Safety and Procedures

  • Before lifting materials, check for protruding nails, wires, or sharp edges to ensure safety.
  • Evaluate the load size before lowering an overhead load to avoid accidents.
  • The correct technique for lifting involves using your legs, maintaining a straight back, and keeping your head up to prevent injury.

Stacking and Storing Materials

  • When stacking bags of equal width, stagger them (cross key) every 10 bags in height for stability.
  • Materials should never be stored or stacked on scaffolds to maintain structural integrity and safety.

Knots and Equipment

  • The clove hitch is a common knot used in material handling.
  • A typical method to tie a clove hitch involves making two half hitches to secure the load.

Handling and Transporting Loads

  • Ensure the weight of material carts does not exceed the labeled capacity, especially on inclined or declined surfaces, to avoid tipping.
  • Use a cylinder cart specifically designed for safely transporting bottles of compressed gas.

Material Handling Devices

  • Roller skids can feature rotating surfaces and spikes to enhance grip during transport of heavy items.

Training and Certification

  • Workers must be trained, certified, and authorized before operating motorized material-handling equipment.

Forklift Operations

  • The fall zone for forklift operations includes any area where lifted materials could fall, necessitating caution and awareness.
  • To prevent a tipover while operating a rough terrain forklift, keep the load low for better stability.

Communication and Signals

  • Always maintain eye contact with the operator when using hand signals to ensure clear communication.
  • The hand signal "dog everything" indicates for all operations to pause, ensuring safety and coordination during material handling activities.
