Manual Handling hazards and risks
Common Types of Hazard and Injury
Sprains-70% result of lifting Stains - 70% result of lifting Musculoskeletal disorder Heavy manual labor-back pain Repetitive-muscle strain to
prolapsed discs etc. Poor posture Bending Stopping and working beyond
individual limits
Manual Handling hazards and risks
Assessment of Manual Handing Risks-TILEO Task-how often, how much twisting or bending is needed? Individual capability male or female, old or young, experienced or
inexperienced? Load-how heavy? Good grip? Heavier at one end? Environment-hot, cold, uneven floor, windy, stairs? Other factors-PPE.

Manual Handling hazards and risks Task:
Holding loads away from the body Twisting/Stooping Reaching upwards Long travel distances Large vertical movements Pushing or pulling Repetitive handling Insufficient rest/recovery A work rate imposed
6
Manual Handling hazards and risks Individual Factors
Does the job: Require unusual strength or size Require special training Present a problem to vulnerable employees (New/Expectant
Mothers, young, disable, health problems)
Load factors: Heavy Bulky Difficult to grasp Unstable/unpredictable Harmful (e.g. sharp/hot)
Environment FactorsAre there: Constraints on posture Poor floors Variations in levels Hot/cold/rain/icy/humid conditions Strong air movements Poor lighting
Other factors: Personal Protective Equipment Is the job monotonous, boring or stressful

Minimizing Manual Handling Risk
Means of Minimizing the Risks Mechanical Assistant :forklift
truck, hoist(подъемник),sack truck (тележка).
Reduce weight of load Reduce carrying distances Add handles Raise heights/store goods at
waist height Improve environment-lighting,
heating etc. Provide information on weight of
loads Training and supervision

Minimizing Manual Handling Risk
Techniques for Manual LiftingManual handling risk should cover: Manual handling risk factors Common injuries from manual handling Safe lifting technique Appropriate systems of work for the individuals work environment Use of mechanical aids Practical demonstrations and assessment
9
Minimizing Manual Handling Risk
Think before lifting/Handling: Can handling aids be used? Where is the load going to be placed? Will help be needed with the load? Remove obstructions such as discarded wrapping materials For a long lift, consider resting the load midway on a table or bench to
change grip
10
Minimizing Manual Handling Risk
Keep the load close to the waist: Keep the load closed to the body for as possible while lifting Keep the heaviest side of the load next to the body If a close approach to the load is not possible, try to slide it towards
the body before attempting to lift it.
11
Minimizing Manual Handling Risk
Adopt a stable position: The feet should be apart with one leg slightly forward to maintain
balance ( along the load, if it is on the ground) The worker should be prepared to move their feet during the lift to
main maintain their stability Avoid tight clothing or unsuitable footwear, which may make this
difficult
12
Minimizing Manual Handling Risk
Start in a good postureAt the start of the lift, slight bending of the back, hips and knees is preferable to fully flexing the back ( stooping) or full flexing the hips and knees ( squatting)
Avoid twisting the back or learning sideways, especially while the back is bent: Shoulders should be kept level and
facing in the same direction as the hips. Turning by moving the feet better than
twisting and lifting at the same time
13
Minimizing Manual Handling Risk
Keep the head up when handling: look ahead, not down at the load, once it has been held securely.
Move Smoothly Don’t lift handle more
between what people can be easily managed.
Put down, then adjust

Crane, Forklift trucks, lifts, hoists and Mobile Elevator Working Platforms (MEWPS)
Chains, slings, shackles, eye bolts
