Many employees feel that moving and handling materials that they work with everyday is an "ordinary" task, not something that they really need to be concerned about. Yet there are hundreds of thousands of "materials handling" accidents every year... from small splinters, cuts or scrapes... to crushed fingers, hands and feet... even deaths.
The training program "Materials Handling Safety" provides the information employees need to work safely when handling various types of materials. Areas covered in the program include:
* Types of potential hazards. * Planning a job. * Personal protective equipment. * Proper lifting and moving techniques. * Other ergonomic considerations. * Hand trucks, carts and pallet trucks. * Mechanical lifting devices.
