Manual handling operations regulations Key elements of moving and handling Lifting: Lowering: Carrying: Raising an object from a Bringing an object down Moving an object by lower position to a higher from a higher position to a holding it while walking. position. lower position. Carrying should be done Proper lifting techniques Controlled lowering helps with the load held close to involve using the legs and prevent dropping and the body to maintain keeping the back straight damaging the object or balance and reduce strain. to prevent injury. causing injury. Pushing: Pulling: Transporting: Exerting force on an object Exerting force on an Moving objects from one to move it away from the object to move it toward location to another using body. the body. various methods and Pushing is generally safer Pulling should be done equipment, such as carts, than pulling and can be with care to avoid trolleys, forklifts and more efficient when overexertion and maintain conveyor belts. moving wheeled objects. control over the object.  19609 35% Of workplace Working days fatalities were in lost due to cases manufacturing, of occupational transportation injury and storage Manufacturing 8650 days Manufacturing 44 deaths Transportation and storage 1330 Transportation and storage 10 days deaths Safe moving and handling Preventing Product Complianc Efficiency injuries protection e Legislation, regulation and policies Legal compliance Health and safety Manual handling Use of equipment Regulatory Risk assessment Lifting techniques Equipment training standards Training Load limits Maintenance Documentation PPE Team lifting Authorised Emergency personnel procedures Incident reporting Continuous Storage and stacking Ergonomics and investigation improvement Safe stacking Workstation design Reporting system Feedback practices Mechanical aids Investigation mechanism Storage layout Rest breaks procedures Regular reviews Labelling Warehouse hazards What hazards are likely to be encountered in a warehouse environment?
