Essentials of Manual Handling Next Slide

WHY DO THIS TRAINING This presentation will help you Be aware of causes of back Injury Help you decide if its within your capability to lift Prevent lifting injuries to you Don’t forget this can apply at home as well as work Next Slide

ACCIDENT RATES Largest cause of accidents at work 37% Manual Handling 19% Slips, Trips and Falls 12% Other Causes 20% Struck by an Object 7% Falling from Height 5% Machinery Next Slide

COMMON INJURIES Crushed and fractured bones Painful but will heal over time Cuts and abrasions hurts at the time may leave a scar Soft tissue damage these are injuries to muscle, tendons and ligaments that are very painful but will heal given time and treatment Next Slide

COMMON INJURIES HERNIAS This is the protrusion of an internal organ – pulling apart at the muscle lining Very painful can cause mobility problems-mostly requires corrective surgery but they are repairable, can leave a permanent weakness Next Slide

COMMON INJURIES SPINAL AND NERVE INJURIES The composition of the spine is: Vertebra Discs Spinal Cord and Nerves INJURIES TO THESE ARE VERY COMMON AND ARE DIFFICULT TO TREAT. THERE MAY BE PERMANENT DAMAGE AND DISABILITY Next Slide

COMMON INJURIES SLIPPED OR PROLAPSED DISK In between each of the five lumbar vertebrae (bones) is a disc, a tough fibrous shock-absorbing pad. Endplates line the ends of each vertebra and help hold individual discs in place. Excess spinal pressure can cause these discs to be compressed until they rupture. Disk herniation occurs when the annulus breaks open or cracks, allowing the nucleus to escape. This is called a Herniated Disc. Next Slide

SEVERITY ACUTE INJURY An immediate effect of an accident Normally painful at the time you may have time off work but it should mend If you think there is a risk of injury you should report it before attempting the task Next Slide

SEVERITY cont… CHRONIC INJURY A more long term effect. This may be caused by a single accident or by manual handling being carried out poorly over a long period of time then a minor action suddenly causes a back problem If you think there is a risk of injury you should report it before attempting the task Next Slide

MANUAL HANDLING This is not just lifting heavy loads Injury can be caused by lifting pulling pushing loads Repetitive movement of light loads can also cause injury Next Slide

YOUR CAPABILITIES KNOW YOUR LIMITS We are all individuals and each have our own lifting capabilities There is no such thing as a safe weight you may lift KNOW YOUR LIMITS Recommendations are Max weight not more than 25 Kg for a male Max weight not more than 16 Kg for a female These weights depend on the actual lift Next Slide

CONSIDERATIONS BEFORE MOVING LOADS CONSIDER What is the load How far has it got to be moved Will the environment effect me Will I require PPE Do I have to move it manually Do I have to move it Next Slide

THE LOAD IF YOU HAVE TO MOVE IT CONSIDER Is it bulky- it may be large but not heavy Is it heavy- it may be small in size but heavy Is it stable-containers of liquid can be unstable and difficult to move Is it hard to hold- do you need gloves Can you split the load-make it smaller/lighter easier to handle Do you need help - be aware of your capabilities Next Slide

HOW FAR TO MOVE IT HOW FAR ARE YOU EXPECTED TO MOVE THE LOAD The further you have to move a load the smaller it should be. CAN YOU USE A MECHANICAL AID What about a trolley, barrow, truck or trailer CAN IT BE DELIVERED TO WHERE YOU WANT IT Can you specify the delivery point Next Slide

THE WORKPLACE Can you move about safely with the load are there trip hazards, spillages to slip on Will you have to go up/down stairs try to avoid a change of level or how you move the load to reduce the risk (split the load?) Poor house keeping can cause accidents Next Slide

ASSESSMENT Manual handling assessments are a method of assuring a safe method of work A formal assessment should be done if the task is a regular part of your work This should be done by a competent person A less formal assessment should be done by you each time you have to carry out manual handling. If you think there is a risk of injury you should report it before attempting the task Next Slide

ASSESS THE PROCESS PLAN - Plan how you are going to move the load POSITION - Position yourself over the load - feet apart - get comfortable LIFT - Lift with your legs not your back MOVE - Move carefully LOWER - Reverse of the lift check the lowered load is secure Next Slide
