The correct way manual handling

As a mechanic, every job is done by using our limbs. For example when doing maintenance. In every job we often do manual handling, lifting, pushing, holding, carrying, pulling, putting and others. Many people are less aware of the dangers of manual handling is less true. Manual handling can result in incorrect direct injury or may direct us not feel right then it may be felt in the future. Manual handling of the potential that can cause injury to our body include: 

·         Heavy load handled

·         Volume and load conditions

·         Operational range

·         Frequency

·         Position the wrong body

·         Exercise is wrong

Heavy load handled

Lifted weights, etc. are encouraged and can be a cause of injury to our bodies. At the moment did pengankatan example, the allowable weight on the lift by the average adult is 14 pounds. If the load exceeds the load is lifted then the possibility of injury.

Volume and load conditions

Volume load is handled can be the cause of accidents or injuries because it can block the view when making a treatment. Likewise, the condition of the load, it is possible to move the load resulting in a loss of control on the load. Dangerous load condition must require special handling.

Operational range

When the load will reach far or high a possibility of losing the balance of the body that can result in accidents.

Frequency

Handling of high frequency can result in loss of control in handling the load or a bad habit of taking shortcuts to shorten the time in ways that are wrong and do not consider environmental conditions that do not support.

The wrong body position

Without realizing it when making the appointment or when we do push the load with the wrong body position. Like bent back when lifting that can cause severe back injury without we realize at that moment.

Wrong exercise

The movement of what we do when making handling can cause severe injury if we do not know the ways of right.

So to avoid injuries that can occur due to errors in our manual handling required to know the ways to correct manual handling.

Here are examples of correct manual handling, I will give examples of when to move a box from the floor to the table. By the time we move the box will make the appointment, hold Baban, carrying burdens, laid back and probably will do furtherance of the load.

We need to do before the appointment is to stretch the body, it is very important to prevent muscle injury due to a strained muscle. Check road that will pass, if there are blocking the way? Please note also that we lift the burden does not exceed the capacity of our bodies. To estimate the weights we lift can be done by trying to move the load. If we will load up too much then we can make appointments or use team tools adopted.

Examination not only weigh the burden alone, should be also a survey about what things will we lift, whether it is dangerous or not?, If this thing moving?

Positions the body for the appointment of objects as close as possible to reach not too far away. Position your hands properly, well positioned diagonally, be careful of the sharp surfaces. Then position the back and legs, do not let our backs bent as you lift and use as a pedestal leg as you lift the load.

When the load had been lifted it is necessary to guard your back straight, do not change direction by turning your back. The same thing we do when melatakkan objects.

For the time being I have when I write, if there are additional, please enter your comment.
