Manual HandlingManual Handling

Manual Handling is using your body muscles to lift or move anything – from a pen to a machine.

Poor Manual Handling results in a large number of accidents each year and many millions of “days off” are due to back and other injuries.

Basic rules for Safe Manual HandlingBasic rules for Safe Manual Handling

Think before lifting. Think about:LOAD –

Where am I going to hold it? Slippery or sharp edges? (Wear gloves?) Is it free to move? Where is its centre of gravity? How heavy is it?

INDIVIDUAL – Can I lift it myself safely?TASK – What am

I going to lift – to where?ENVIRONMENT – Have I a clear safe route? Are

there any slip or trip hazards?

Good Lifting TechniqueGood Lifting Technique

LiftingLifting

Split the load if possible

Assess the weight, shape, freedom to move, centre of gravity, hand holds.

Use leverage if possible

Get close with feet apart

Get a secure grip (use gloves?)

Bend knees, keep back upright

Never twist your back - do a 3-point turn.

Move smoothly - don’t jerk.

Take care when putting down

Slipping & TrippingSlipping & Tripping

Slipping and tripping are the most frequent injuries.

Don’t dismiss them as trivial - some cause serious injuries.

Look out!

Don’t rely on your route being clear - hazards change without warning.

SlippingSlipping

Too little friction between sole of shoe and floor / ground

rug / mat and floor

Know the warning signs & dangerous places! Frost on car windows = ice on the ground

wet / muddy = slippery

Something on the floor: spilt liquid or a piece of paper

SlippingSlipping

Wear appropriate footwear How good is their grip?

Replace shoes if the tread is worn down.

Keep centre of gravity vertically above your shoes Take smaller steps

Lift each foot up

Don’t run, corner carefully

SlippingSlipping

Carpets, mats etc. Must be fixed if likely to slip.

Spills Mop them up immediately.

Display warning signs until the floor is dry.

Something dropped Pick it up immediately.

IntroductionIntroduction

Why is electricity dangerous?

Because it’s

Invisible (and odourless)

InstantInstant

Hazards from electrical equipmentHazards from electrical equipment

Tripping Over the equipment itself or its flex

Fire If possible, switch off / unplug

smoking or burning equipment.

If it is still live, use only CO2 or Powder extinguishers.

Electric shock

Electrocution Never remove covers unless authorised to do so.

Always switch equipment off before removing its covers or repairing it.

Other consequential events, e.g. scalds from overturned kettle entanglement if a motor starts

Safety in an office or homeSafety in an office or home

Equipment condition no damaged covers

no missing screws

no bypassed interlocks

Equipment operation no intermittent faults

all switches, warning lights etc. work OK

Flex not in a walkway not loose on the floor under a desk not where it may get damaged not squashed, damaged nor cut not frayed nor perished

Plug not broken no signs of overheating no bent pins Resilient type for things which are moved frequently, e.g.

hand-toolsvacuum cleaners / floor polishers

Cord grip around the sheath No coloured wires showing

No water / coffee / liquid ingress

Don’t spray aerosols into live equipment

Don’t use plug-in multiway adaptors use a short 4-way extension lead

instead.

Use short flexes on work-top equipment long flexes risk being pulled and overturning the item (e.g.

a kettle)

Keep sockets dry take care when washing walls

No DIY bodgesNo DIY bodges

Protection DevicesProtection Devices

No device prevents you from getting a shock.

A Fuse or Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) switches off the current if it exceeds the rated value for long enough. Plug = 3 or 13 amps (can also be 5 or 10 amps)

Lighting circuits = 5 amps (1200 watts)

Ring main for 13 amp sockets = 30 amps.

They help to prevent a fire caused by prolonged overloading of the equipment, its flex or the fixed wiring.

Residual Current Devices (“RCD”)Residual Current Devices (“RCD”) They detect when the current in the Live wire is different

from the current in the Neutral wire.

If the difference is 30mA, they QUICKLY switch off the current.

If the missing current was going through your body, it aims to switch it off before your heart stops permanently.

Use the test button regularly - make sure the device still actually works!

They are ESSENTIAL when using portable equipment outdoors or in wet / damp environments.

They are desirable in many other situations, e.g.Children poking things into anything electrical, fingers in light fittings,

3 more points3 more points

Never transfer a hazardous substance to another container unless it is designed and labelled correctly. Keep containers tightly closed

It is the invisible vapour from a solvent or other petroleum-based product which is even more dangerous than the liquid. It is heavier than air and may be ignited by a spark or flame

some distance from the liquid.

It may build up to dangerous concentrations where there is little airflow.

3 more points3 more points

Changing a gas cylinder (inc BBQ etc) A small leak can produce a large volume of gas, which can

cause an explosion or a fierce fire

Change or connect the cylinder to an appliance in the open air

Never have a naked flame near an gas cylinder which is being changed

Check hoses regularly

Store spare cylinders outside, but not below ground level

Lock cylinders away from children

NoiseNoise

Toolbox Talk

NoiseNoise

Loud noise from ANY source can damage

your hearing.

Permanent damage usually happens gradually over many years.

NoiseNoise

Hearing protection mandatory

Background noise should allow normal conversation 2 metres from the other person. If you have to raise your voice to be heard, it is too loud.

Loud noise can break or damage the sensitive hairs and membranes in your inner ears. Your body can’t regrow or replace them, so they no longer accurately convert the noise pressure waves to brain signals.

Types of hearing protectionTypes of hearing protection

Ear muffs Ear plugs Corded ear plugs Banded ear caps

Whichever type you use, it must fit properly and seal completely, otherwise its effectiveness will be reduced.

Things which reduce effectivenessThings which reduce effectiveness

Torn covering Creases Loss of tension Obstructions

Correct insertion

Incorrect.Insufficient insertion

NoiseNoise

Hearing loss can be permanent. It usually builds up over many years, or it can be caused by

a sudden explosive noise e.g. from a gun or cartridge-operated tool.

Damage can be caused by any loud noise Music through headphones from MP3 players and I-pods

can be damagingly loud inside your ears.

Temporary deafness after leaving a noisy area is a signal that action needs to be taken.

Wear ear protection for any noisy task or in any noisy area, and ensure that it fits correctly.

Work Equipment & Risk AssessmentWork Equipment & Risk Assessment

Ensure all guards and covers are in place. Ensure that you leave it in a safe condition and in a safe place after each use.

Maintain each item properly.

Mark and remove defective equipment.

Risk AssessmentRisk Assessment

A logical review of the hazards

and risks of the process. Hazard = what could cause injury.

Risk = probability that it will happen.

Aim: Remove or reduce the hazards

Consider alternative processes or ways to achieve the desired result.

Reduce the risks.

Personal Protective EquipmentPersonal Protective Equipment

It is the last resort to reduce the risk when every other practicable preventive measure has been taken.

Must be suitable for that individual.

Must be kept in good condition.

Electro-Static

Discharge

Electro-Static

Discharge

Causes:Charge builds up when certain materials

rub together e.g. between your body and your clothes, and between one

item and another

man-made fibres (e.g. Nylon) are worse than cotton

Damp air is slightly conductive, so the charge leaks away

Dry air is an insulator, so the charge builds up

Electronic components have tiny elements, so they are VERY easily damaged by electrical discharges.

Damage can occur even when there isn’t a spark.

NEVER touch electronic components or printed circuit boards.

NEVER open boxes or bags which have the ESD warning sign. Anyone who needs to touch or work

with electronic components MUST use

an approved safety wristband

an earthed work-mat.
