Meuangvang Development Co.LTD Standard Working Procedure 005 Manual Handling

M V D C S W P 0 0 5 M a n u a l H a n d l i n g M a y 2 0 0 8

1. Application To provide a standard work practice for “Manual handing” as required in accordance with Meuangvang Development Co Ltd Safety Management Program

Manual handling of materials is the largest single cause of industrial injuries. All personnel move or lift things at times, either at work or at home, sometimes without much thought of the way they set about to manually move object But like all other tasks there is a right and wrong way, an easy and difficult way, a safe and unsafe way. Before lifting any load, the job should be sized up – a little thought can save a lot of effort Because of the way the human body is constructed, most of the joints are at a severe mechanical disadvantage during lifting, especially the spine. If this is subjected to excessive strain over a period of time, it can lead to serious back problems. The kinetic method of handling, places the strain on the muscles and joints best suited to do the job. 2. Revision Schedule

Reduce bending movements by:

• using lift tables, work dispensers and similar mechanical aids

• raising the work level • lowering the level of the person

lifting • providing all material at work level • keeping materials at work level (eg.

don’t lower that which must later be lifted)

• eliminating horizontal reaches over 400mm

Reduce twisting movements by:

• providing all tools and materials in front of the person lifting

• using conveyors, chutes, slides or turntables to change material flow direction

• providing adjustable swivel chairs • providing sufficient work-space for

the person’s whole body to turn • improving layout of the work area

Reduce reaching motions by:

• providing tools and machine controls close (less than 400mm) to the person

• placing materials, work pieces and other heavy objects as near to the person as possible

• enabling the object handled to be kept close

• reducing load or container size • enabling the person to walk around

the load or to rotate it • limiting stacking to shoulder height



Reduce lifting and lowering forces by: Eliminating the need to do this manually by:

• using lift tables, forklifts, cranes, hoists, balancers, drum and barrel dumpers, work dispensers, elevating conveyors and similar aids

• raising the work level • lowering the level of the person

lifting. • using gravity dumps and chute • changing from lifting to lowering, • lowering to carrying and carrying to

pushing

Reducing object weight by:

• reducing load size (specify to suppliers)

• reducing the capacity and weight of the container

• reducing the number of objects lifted or lowered at one time (administratively)

• using two or more persons Increasing object weight so that it must be handled mechanically by:

• using a unit or bulk load concept • using palletised loads

Reducing holding position away from the body by:

• changing object shape • providing suitable grips or handles • providing greater access to the load • improving work place layout
