The primary goal of material handling is to ensure efficient, safe, and timely handling of materials to optimize productivity, minimize damage, reduce costs, and enhance overall operational performance.

Material handling refers to the movement, storage, control, and protection of materials, goods, or products throughout the various stages of manufacturing, distribution, consumption, and disposal. It encompasses a wide range of activities, including lifting, carrying, transporting, storing, and manipulating materials, both manually and with the use of mechanical equipment.

Safety measures in material handling help prevent injuries to workers, particularly those related to manual lifting, carrying, and moving heavy objects.
