  1. Materials Handling and Storage Office of Training & Education - Revised by TEEX-PRT July 2009

  2. Materials Handling and Storage Objective Describe the hazards and requirements related to materials handling and hoisting operations. Office of Training & Education - Revised by TEEX-PRT July 2009

  3. Handling Materials - General Sufficient safe clearances shall be allowed for aisles, at loading docks, through doorways and wherever turns or passage must be made. Aisles and passageways shall be kept clear and in good repair, with no obstruction across or in aisles that could create a hazard Office of Training & Education - Revised by TEEX-PRT July 2009

  4. Handling Materials - General Permanent aisles and passageways shall be appropriately marked Storage of material shall not create a hazard Office of Training & Education - Revised by TEEX-PRT July 2009

  5. Injuries Lifting objects is a major cause of back injuries in the work place. Improper storing and handling of material and equipment can cause struck by and crushed by injuries. Office of Training & Education - Revised by TEEX-PRT July 2009

  6. Manual Handling • Seek help: • When a load is too bulky to properly grasp or lift. • When you can’t see around or over the load. • When you can’t safely handle the load. • Attach handles to loads to reduce the chances of getting fingers smashed. Office of Training & Education - Revised by TEEX-PRT July 2009

  7. Safe Lifting • Break load into parts. • Lift with legs, keep back straight, do not twist. • Use handling aids - such as steps, trestles, shoulder pads, handles, and wheels. • Avoid lifting above shoulder level. Office of Training & Education - Revised by TEEX-PRT July 2009

  8. Safe Lifting Training • What should be taught: • How to lift safely. • How to avoid unnecessary physical stress and strain. • What you can comfortably handle without undue strain. • Proper use of equipment. • Recognizing potential hazards and how to prevent / correct them. Office of Training & Education - Revised by TEEX-PRT July 2009

  9. Storing Materials Secure materials stored in tiers by stacking, racking, blocking, or interlocking to prevent them from falling. Post safe load limits of floors. Keep aisles and passageways clear. Office of Training & Education - Revised by TEEX-PRT July 2009

  10. Materials Handling Equipment • Employees must be • trained in the proper • use and limitations of the equipment they operate. • This includes knowing how to effectively use • equipment such as • forklifts, cranes, • and slings. Office of Training & Education - Revised by TEEX-PRT July 2009

  11. Powered Industrial Trucks Office of Training & Education - Revised by TEEX-PRT July 2009

  12. Powered industrial trucks General requirements • Applies to fire protection, design, maintenance, and use of fork trucks, tractors, platform lift trucks, motorized hand trucks, and other specialized industrial trucks Office of Training & Education - Revised by TEEX-PRT July 2009

  13. Training Program Implementation Training shall consist of a combination of: • Formal instruction (e.g., lecture, discussion, interactive computer learning, written material), • Practical training (demonstrations and exercises performed by the trainee), and • Evaluation of the operator’s performance in the workplace Office of Training & Education - Revised by TEEX-PRT July 2009

  14. Powered Industrial Trucks Truck-related topics • Operating instructions, warnings and precautions • Differences from automobile • Controls and instrumentation • Engine or motor operation • Steering and maneuvering • Visibility Office of Training & Education - Revised by TEEX-PRT July 2009

  15. Powered Industrial Trucks Truck-related topics • Fork and attachment adaptation, operation, use • Vehicle capacity and stability • Vehicle inspection and maintenance that the operator will be required to perform • Refueling/Charging/ Recharging batteries • Operating limitations • Other instructions, etc. Office of Training & Education - Revised by TEEX-PRT July 2009

  16. Powered Industrial Trucks • Surface conditions • Composition and stability of loads • Load manipulation, stacking, unstacking • Pedestrian traffic • Narrow aisles and restricted areas • Operating in hazardous (classified) locations Workplace-related topics Office of Training & Education - Revised by TEEX-PRT July 2009

  17. Powered Industrial Trucks Workplace-related topics • Operating on ramps and sloped surfaces • Potentially hazardous environmental conditions • Operating in closed environments or other areas where poor ventilation or maintenance could cause carbon monoxide or diesel exhaust buildup Office of Training & Education - Revised by TEEX-PRT July 2009

  18. Overhead and Gantry Cranes General requirements • Rated loads must be marked on each side of crane • Cab location and access • Footwalks and ladders • Brakes Office of Training & Education - Revised by TEEX-PRT July 2009

  19. Overhead and Gantry Cranes General requirements • Hoisting equipment • Sheaves • Ropes • Equalizers • Hooks • Warning device Office of Training & Education - Revised by TEEX-PRT July 2009

  20. Crawler Locomotive and Truck Cranes General requirements • Only designated personnel are permitted to operate • All cranes should have initial and regular inspections • No crane should be loaded beyond the rated load Locomotive Crane Office of Training & Education - Revised by TEEX-PRT July 2009

  21. Crawler Locomotive and Truck Cranes General requirements • Crane should be equipped with the proper fire extinguisher • Operations near overhead lines should be avoided Crawler Crane Office of Training & Education - Revised by TEEX-PRT July 2009

  22. Rigging Equipment Slings Types of slings covered are those made from alloy steel chain, wire rope, metal mesh, natural or synthetic fiber rope, and synthetic web. Chain Wire rope Metal mesh Synthetic Office of Training & Education - Revised by TEEX-PRT July 2009

  23. Sling Inspection • Inspect slings: • Each day before use. • Where service conditions warrant. Remove them from service if damaged or defective. Office of Training & Education - Revised by TEEX-PRT July 2009

  24. Alloy Steel Chain Attachments Rated Capacity Hooks, rings, oblong links, or other attachments, when used with alloy steel chains, must have a rated capacity at least equal to that of the chain. Office of Training & Education - Revised by TEEX-PRT July 2009

  25. Unsuitable Alloy Steel Chain Attachments Right Wrong Job or shop hooks and links, or makeshift fasteners, formed from bolts, rods, etc., or other such attachments, can’t be used. Office of Training & Education - Revised by TEEX-PRT July 2009

  26. Wire Rope Slings • Used to hoist materials • Selection considerations: • Strength • Ability to bend without cracking • Ability to withstand • abrasive wear • Ability to withstand abuse Wire Core Center Strand Wire rope Office of Training & Education - Revised by TEEX-PRT July 2009

  27. Wire Rope SlingsEye Splices • Eye splices made in any wire rope • must have at least three full tucks. Office of Training & Education - Revised by TEEX-PRT July 2009

  28. Protruding Ends Cover or blunt protruding ends of strands. Office of Training & Education - Revised by TEEX-PRT July 2009

  34. Summary • Manually handling materials • When lifting objects, lift with your legs, keep your back straight, do not twist, and use handling aids. • Using cranes, forklifts, and slings to move materials • Watch for potential struck by and crushed by dangers. • For slings, check their load capacity, inspect them, and remove them from service when they display signs of stress or wear. • Also - • Keep work areas free from debris and materials. • Store materials safely to avoid struck by/crushed by hazards.
