Intro to Material HandlingSlide2

Basics

Plan the task before doing it

Wear appropriate PPE

Follow lifting procedures

Pre-task planning

make sure the load is too big, too heavy, or too hard to grasp

Watch for protruding nails, wires, or sharp edgesSlide3

If you can not lift be yourself, get help

Inspect the path of travel – look for things that can make you slip, trip, or fall

Read warning labels – be aware of hazards

PPE

No loose clothing, tuck in and button shirts, remove jewelry, wear gloves whenever there are times you can get hurtSlide4

Remove gloves when working with rotating equipment

Plan before lifting

or lowering a load – find out how

, when, size

Frim footing, good grip

,

lift with legs,

keep back straight, keep head upSlide5

Keep aisles clear, keep away from the weather, follow carton guidelines, stack pipes so that they will not role, tie down if possible, store flammables away from things that will

ignite

When stacking bags that are the same width, step back and cross the bags every 10 bags high

Don’t store materials on scaffoldsSlide6

Knots

Square knot – used to tie the ends of a rope around an object –commonly used to join two lengths of rope together in low-strain applications –same size rope

Bowline knot – used to form a secure loop in the end of a rope – does not slip or bind when under a loadSlide7

Half-hitch – ties a rope around an object like a nail, bar, post, or ring – commonly used for tasks like suspending items from overhead beams – stable knot but not for heavy loads

Clove hitch – one of the most widely used hitches – quick and secure tension knot on a fixed object that serves as an anchor – comes loose as soon as tension is removed – can

bind – can use two half hitches to tieSlide8

Material handling equipment

Non-motorized

Material cart – platform truck – platform with casters – transport materials around a

jobsite – make sure you do not exceed the weight

Hand truck – dollies, two – wheeled carts used to transport heavy loads

Cylinder carts – used to carry gas cylinders

Wheelbarrow – one or two wheeled vehicle with handles at the rearSlide9

pipe mule – two-wheeled device used to carry medium length pieces of pipe, tubing, or scaffolding

Pallet jack – typically uses hydraulics to lift and move heavy or stacked

pallets

A roller skid may have a rotating table surface or spikes on the tableSlide10

Motorized – be trained, certified, authorized

Powered wheelbarrow – power buggy – like a manual wheelbarrow, but with a motor

Concrete mule – Georgia buggy – moves concrete, sand, gravel

Freight elevator – most of them close from top to bottom – heavy dutySlide11

Industrial forklift – power operated – lift, lower, transport large equipment – usually used on flat, solid ground

Rough terrain forklift – used on irregular surfaces – not

paved

Fall zone – any area where lifted material can fall – keep the load lowSlide12

Forklift symbols

Raise the tines – forearm vertical, forefinger pointing up, move hand in small horizontal circle

Lower the tines – arm extended, palm down, lower arm vertically

Tilt mast back – forearm vertical, thumb extended, jerk thumb over shoulderSlide13

Tilt mast forward –arm extended, fingers closed, thumb pointing downward, lower arm vertically

Move tines in direction finger points – arm extended, palm down, point forefinger in direction of movement

Dog (pause) everything – clasp hands in front of bodySlide14

Stop – extend both arms, palms

down

When using hand signals maintain eye contact with

the operator
