3. Manual Handling
any activity requiring a person to use any part of their muscular or skeletal system in their interactions with their work environment.
It includes the following activities:

4. CARRYING

5. LIFTING

6. STRIKING

7. PUSHING

8. PULLING

9. HOLDING
TROWING
AND ANY OTHER

10. IN A MORE CIVILIZED WAY
Sustained Posture

11. IN A MORE CIVILIZED WAY
Repetitive actions

12. IMPORTANT NOTES AND LEASONS
Poor manual handlings contributes to 30% of workplace injuries.
Wrong handling of manual task leads to MSD (musculoskeletal disorder) injuries

13. WHAT IS AN MSD ?
An MSD is an injury affecting the bones or soft tissue structure (other than organs) of the body that is caused by manual handling at work.

14. EXAMPLE MSD’S sprains of ligaments strains of muscles or tendons
injuries to the spine, joints, bones or nerves
abdominal hernias.

15. RESULTS TO Back or neck pain Pain in wrists shoulder or arms
Stabbing pains in arms or legs
Painful joints
Pain, tingling or numbness in hands or feet
Weakness or clumsiness
Heaviness
Burning sensations
Stiffness
Swelling

16. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF MANUAL HANDLING
Identify manual jobs with hazardous treats
2. Alternate with appropriate machines
3. Constantly educate on proper ways
of working manually.
4. Change work nature of work if you can

17. USEFUL TIPS EXERCISE (STRETCH ) ALWAYS
2. COOLDOWN AFTER ANY HEAVY MANUAL TASK
3. ALWAYS WALK AROUND AFTER LONG SITING
4. CHANGE NATURE OF WORK IF YOU CAN

18. FIRE / FIRE FIGHTING

19. FOR FIRE TO EXIST, THE FOLLOWING FOUR ELEMENTS MUST BE PRESENT:
Enough oxygen to sustain combustion
 Enough heat to raise the material to its ignition temperature
 Some sort of fuel or combustible material, and
 The chemical reaction that is fire.
Take away any of these and the fire will be extinguished

20. How fire spreads Direct burning – chemical reaction
Convection(the transfer of heat from one point to another the movement of fluid)
Radiation (energy which come from a source travel trough a material or space)
Conduction
Fire creeps
burning materials falling unto another

21. How to fight fire No1 and most important prevent it from occurring
Cooling
Suffocating
Conduction
Removing the fuel (Starving)

22. Classes of fire
Fire is classified according to the type of fuel that is burning.
NOTE:
Using the wrong type of fire extinguisher on a fire may make matters worse.

23. The Five (5) Classes of fire
class A Solids –fire – paper, wood, textiles etc
class B Liquids or liquefiable solids –fire - petrol, diesel, hydrocarbons
class C Gases –fire – flammable gases
class D Metals –fire – Magnesium, Titanium
class F Cooking oil fires – deep fat fryers, commercial kitchens etc

24. Important Note: All ways conduct for drills as many times as possible
Sound the fire alarm
Everybody runs to the muster point
Call external help before it gets too late

25. How to use fire extinguisher:
1. Pull the safety tag and pin
2. Aim at the base of the fire
3. Squeeze the handle levers
4. Sweep the jet from side to side

26. Very Important Notes: Use the right type of extinguisher
Keep your escape route clear and your back to it
Get within effective range but stay safe
Always be prepared to abandon the fight - if you don’t think it’s safe, escape!
Speed is important
Beware - Noise, visibility, steam!

27. Type Extinguishers: Water H2O Use on class A Fires
Dry Chemical Powder Co2
Use on class B Fires

28. Type Extinguishers:
Foam
Can be Use on class A and Class Fires B

29. Beware!
Fires involving gas will reignite if the source is not isolated – explosion risk!
If possible, turn off power before tackling a fire in electrical equipment
When is a fire small enough to tackle … or too large to deal with?
One fire = One extinguisher
Be prepared to abandon the fight if you don’t start to control the fire quickly
