Study Notes
Pushing and Pulling Safety
- It is safer to perform pushing and pulling tasks that require lower forces, especially when the task involves pushing or pulling an object above shoulder or below waist level.
- Higher forces (up to 675N or about 165 lbf or 75 kgf) can be developed when supporting the body or feet against a firm structure.
Recommended Upper Force Limits
- Tables 3.1 and 3.2 provide the recommended upper force limits for horizontal and vertical pushing and pulling.
Lifting a Compact Load
- To lift a compact load safely:
- Place the leading foot flat beside the load in the direction of travel.
- Place the rear foot in the direction of travel.
- Use a power grasp for loads with handles.
- Use slings or hooks to improve grasp when loads do not have handles.
- Use blocks under loads without handles to make lifting them up easier and safer.
- Use a ledge grasp for loads without handles, with the rear arm straight, to get the load moving in an upward and forward direction.
Putting a Load Down
- When putting a load down, use the other arm to guide the load, keeping the body straight, and slowly lower the load to the floor.
