Materials Handling Dangers
 Unsafe
storage and materials movement
can lead to:
– Back injuries (the number one cause of
worker compensation claims).
– Struck-by or crushed by falling loads due to
rigging failures.
– Electrocutions due to power line contact.
– Injury from falling materials.
– Injury from slipping, tripping and falling.

Back Facts
8
out of 10 Americans will have a
back injury during their life.
 Approximately 1 out of 3 injuries at
work are back injuries.
 Personal pain and inconvenience can
not be measured.
 Back injuries cost employers an
estimated 10 billion dollars each
year!

Preventing Back Injuries
 You
can avoid back injuries by:
– Using mechanical aids.
– Using proper lifting techniques.
– Keeping in lifting shape.
– Working as a team when lifting.
– Knowing the truth about back belts.

Proper Lifting Technique
 Basic
moves of a proper lift:
– Plan your lift.
– Use a wide-balanced stance.
– Get close to the load and keep it close to your
body.
– Tighten your stomach muscles.
– Keep your back straight and use your legs.
– Turn with with your feet don’t twist your back.
– Avoid lifting above shoulder height.

Keeping in Lifting Shape
 Keeping
your stomach and back
muscles strong can help prevent back
injuries.
 Even if you don’t work out in a gym, you
can prevent back injuries.
 Strength and flexibility exercises should
be done at least every other day.

Team Lifting
 Use
team lifting for:
– Loads too heavy for one person.
– Loads too bulky for one person.
– Long loads such as pipes and rolls of
material.
 Talk
to your team-mate!
 Coordinate your lift!

What About Back Belts?
 The
National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health (NIOSH) says:
– Back belts may not reduce stress on the
back.
– May increase blood pressure and heart rate.
– May make you think you can lift heavier
loads with a belt on and you could get hurt
trying to.
 If
you want to wear a belt; don’t wear it
too tight and don’t lift more than you
usually would.
13
SUBPARTS
H,N, O Materials Handling, Rigging & Cranes
Material Storage
 Five
basic rules for safe storage:
– Keep total weight within the safe loading
limits of the building’s floors.
– Keep passageways clear.
– Control materials so they do not slide, fall,
or collapse.
– Provide cribbing for heavy loads on
unstable surfaces.
– Store materials away from traffic.

What Does OSHA Require?
 Basic
requirements:

edge.
– Don’t store materials on scaffolds or
runways.
– Keep materials at least 6 feet from floor
openings and hoistways.
– Keep aisles clear.
– Keep work area free from tripping, fire,
explosion, pest and vegetation hazards.

Rigging and Crane Safety
 Rigging
is the lines or cables used to
lift and move materials by hoisting
with a crane.
 A rigger is a skilled mechanic who
prepares heavy equipment or loads
of material for movement.

Can Anyone Rig or Lift Loads?
 Rigging
must be done under the
supervision of a Competent Person.
 The crane operator must be highly
qualified and certified.

OSHA Rigging Requirements

All slings and hardware must be manufactured
to meet demanding specifications which
include safety factors.

All web or alloy chain slings must be clearly
stamped, marked, or labeled, for capacity.

OSHA prohibits job made: slings, hooks, links,
and fasteners formed from bolts.

Before each use all components must be
inspected by a Competent Person.
SUBPARTS
H, N, O Materials Handling, Rigging & Cranes
Safe Working Load (SWL)
 The
maximum load allowed on rigging is
the Safe Working Load (SWL).
 The
sling may actually be able to hold 5
times the SWL.
A
safety factor is the ratio of the ultimate
strength to the SWL.
 If
a rigger exceeds the SWL, then they
lose some of the safety factor.

Working Safely Around Rigging
 General
safety practices:
– Keep at least ten feet away from power
lines up to 50 kV.
– Increase power line clearance distance
by .4” per kV >50kV
– Never hoist loads over workers.
– Never stand too close or under a load.
– Never ride a load.

Case Study: What went wrong?
Two employees were moving
structural steel building
beams to a storage area.
After setting the fourth beam
on the crib, the signal man
signaled the crane operator to
pull the sling from around a
cribbed structural beam which
was set on its flange side.
The second employee then
attempted to remove the
shackle from the beam when
the swaged fitting of the sling
apparently caught and
caused the steel beam to roll
off the cribbing, crushing the
second employee.
