Study Notes
Material Handling Safety Guidelines
- Never stack or store materials on a scaffold or runway to ensure stability and worker safety.
- Before lifting any material, check that it is not too heavy, has no protruding nails, and that you are able to lift it unaided.
- When stacking bags of material of the same width, step back and cross-key the bags at a maximum height of 10 bags to enhance stability.
- Before lowering an overhead load, size up to evaluate the surrounding area and ensure a safe operation.
- To lift objects properly, focus on avoiding strain and stress to prevent injury.
- Workers must be certified to operate motorized material-handling equipment to ensure they have the requisite skills and knowledge.
- A common technique for tying a clove hitch involves using two half hitches to secure loads effectively.
- Rollar skids are specialized devices designed with a rotating table surface and/or spikes to improve grip on materials during transport.
- When moving material carts on inclined or declined surfaces, confirm that the weight does not exceed the cart's capacity to prevent accidents.
- Use a cylinder cart specifically designed for the safe transport of bottles containing compressed gas.
- The forklift hand signal for "dog everything" indicates a need to pause operations, promoting safety in the work area.
- The fall zone for forklift operations is defined as the area directly beneath the load, which should be kept clear to avoid injury.
- Always maintain eye contact when using hand signals to ensure clear communication between operators and signalers.
- To prevent tipovers while driving a rough terrain forklift, keep the load light and balanced to maintain control.
