Manual handling can result in extremely painful

injuries, and those injuries normally take longer
to heal.
Cold muscles / joints / ligaments normally get
injured more easily, therefore it is important to
ensure you are warm-up before starting to
work.
Ensure you use the large strong muscles in your
legs to lift loads instead of your back. This is
called kinetic lifting and a short description is

objects.
Always inspect items that was cut for remaining

with both feet firmly on the floor, about

shoulder with apart. Point your toes out.
Squat down close to the load with your back
straight, knees bend and stomach muscles tight.
Place your hands on diagonally opposite
corners of the load so one hand pulls the load
towards you while the other hand lifts.
Grip the load with the entire hand not only the
fingers.
Bring the load as close as possible to your body.
Keep your weight centred on your feet.
Tuck your arms and elbows into your side and
your chin into your neck.
Stand up slowly, keeping your back straight and
letting your legs do the lifting.
Make sure you have a good grip and can see
where you are going.
Take small steps, keeping the load close to your
body no higher than waist high.
Never twist your back whilst performing a lift or
depositing a load.
Make sure you have an unobstructed view and
a walkway without obstructions.
Maintain control over the load from time of
lifting to placement.
Make sure the area is prepared where you will
place the load (dunnage etc.) this will ensure
your hands will not be pinched when placing
the material.

Repetitive motions / working above shoulder

heights and at risk body positions: Care must be
taken as this kind of activity can easily lead to
exhaustion and muscle spasms, it must not be
