Describe the considerations that should be made to reduce the risk of injury when carrying out manual handling work tasks, considerations must be made to assess the task, individual, load and environment. Describe work equipment designed specifically to eliminate the risk of manual handling, how engineering control measures such as vacuum lifters can reduce the risk from manual handling

Explain how to reduce the amount of twisting, stooping and reaching when moving loads

Explain how to avoid lifting from floor level or above shoulder height, especially heavy loads, how to adjust storage areas to minimise the need to carry out such movements, explain what to consider to minimise carrying distances, explain how to assess the weight to be carried and whether the worker can move the load safely

Explain that some loads can be dismantled etc

Explain work related upper limb disorder and musculoskeletal disorders. Manual handling: Lifting heavy and awkward loads causes back and other injuries. Some injuries can result from a single lift (acute), but more commonly, long term (chronic) injury develops as a result of repeated minor injury due to repetitive lifting

Explain TILEO & Kinetics
