Central England Quakers Guide to Manual Handling

Manual Handling in the Meeting House - introduction Why do we need to think about this? What can we do about the hazards and risk? Guidance and good practice Help and advice

Why do we need to think about manual handling? In the UK over a third of all over three-day reported injuries to the HSE are caused by manual handling. Do you know any office injuries?

Why do we need to think about manual handling? Although risk in the Meeting House is low, what could happen? Sprains or Strains Fractures Lacerations Back and joint injuries etc.

Why do we need to think about manual handling? What do you lift and carry in the Meeting House? How much does it weigh? What else do you do?

Why do we need to think about manual handling? How heavy is it? A box of paper – 5x500 sheets 12.5 Kg approx.

Why do we need to think about manual handling? How heavy is it? An archive box ?

Why do we need to think about manual handling? How heavy is it? An archive box Depends on size and what is inside!

What can we do about the hazards and risk? Avoid them altogether! - Have deliveries placed where they are needed - Use a sack truck or trolley to avoid carrying items Any other ideas?

What can we do about the hazards and risk? Also think about - Breaking a load down into smaller parts - Planning ordering, storage and use to keep quantities low - Finding help with furniture and other heavy items.

What can we do about the hazards and risk? If it can’t be avoided – STOP and THINK - Do you know the approximate weight of the load. - No maximum but over 20Kg needs more planning - Can you grip the item easily? - Can any part of it cut or injure you? - Have you lifted or moved similar items before? - Can you test or get a feel for the load? - Is your way clear of obstructions?

What can we do about the hazards and risk? Always - Ask for help from another person if you are unsure or don’t think it is safe to do the lifting or moving

Good Practice

These are not weight limits or a legal standard Guideline weights will normally be safe within the zones Greater weights may need more planning and care Reduce weights for twisting movements and more frequent lifting Also think about pushing and pulling loads When two people lift or move a load together one person must give directions – avoid ‘doubling up’ the load

Help and Advice See HSE leaflet INDG143 or online ‘Getting to grips with Manual Handling’ for more detailed guidance.

Help and Advice Plan handling safely Talk with someone else if you have concerns about safety And finally don’t forget - STOP and THINK
