6 Manual Handling Procedure

6.1 General

6.1.1 Items within the sub-system present a hazard due to mass. A fully configured system fitted with 4

rectifiers weighs almost 15Kg.

6.1.2 The Manual Handling of Loads Regulations, 1993 require that all persons working on the

equipment are familiar with the Regulations, that they take care to minimise risk of injury to themselves and

others, that they are properly trained, and that the correct equipment is used. Safety shoes are to be worn.

6.1.3 If in doubt about methods, ability to handle the loads, training or equipment, do not proceed

without first seeking advice from a competent person.

6.2 Preparation

6.2.1 Before commencing work check the following:

The floor is level, clean, firm and dry.

The working area is clear of obstacles that could obstruct movement or cause tripping.

There is adequate room for the operator(s), equipment and load.

The lighting is sufficient for the load, equipment, loading surfaces, potential hazards and working

environment to be seen clearly.

Sound levels are not too high to cause distraction.

6.3 Method

6.3.1 The following is not intended to replace other documents and training courses, only to serve as a

guide and checklist. For full guidance refer to the Regulations and supporting documents.

6.3.2 Before lifting, stand as close as possible to the load.

6.3.3 Keep the back straight and as vertical as possible.

6.3.4 Use the leg muscles in preference to the arms.

6.3.5 Minimise twisting, stretching and stooping.
