Manual Handling Operations
■ Avoid manual handling operations as far as
possible to minimize the risk of injury.
■ Estimate the weight of the load.
■ Lift an object with a correct posture.
■ Wear suitable protective equipment.
Put on gloves as far as possible
to protect your hands from
any cut, scratch or puncture,
and wear safety boots or shoes
to prevent injury to toes by
heavy falling objects.
■ Seek assistance from someone
in lifting a load if necessary.
