Hand Crush & Electric Shock Risks: Machine Guarding Machine operators can work safely and efficiently when appropriate guarding and safety measures are in place. However, bypassing or disabling these safety features often leads to serious injuries or even death. Operators must understand the power and risks of their equipment and adhere to safety protocols. Injuries like crushed hands, severed fingers, or even blindness can be prevented through the use of proper machine guarding, safety devices, and safe work practices.

What is manual handling? And do I need to be trained? We manual handle so much in our home lives but may not appreciate we are – activities such as pushing the shopping trolley, picking up our children, mowing the lawn or carrying a basket of washing. Officially the HSE definition is the physical movement of any items such lifting, lowering, pushing, pulling, and carrying of loads by hand or bodily force. From a work perspective this can range from lifting boxes in a warehouse, carrying tools and equipment, cleaning or vacuuming floors. Improper manual handling techniques can lead to musculoskeletal disorders, injuries, and long-term health problems for employees. Back injuries when suffered can be difficult to resolve, so let’s get our techniques right from the start. For more details about how you can ensure staff are trained and competent, get in touch.

Safety Talk Tuesday: Because what you don’t know CAN hurt you. Lifting objects is a common task in many workplaces; however, it is crucial to assess hazards before and during lifting. To prevent injuries such as low back pain, sprains, and strains, the frequency of lifting, the weight of the load, and body position must be considered. Before manual lifting, employers must: • Provide mechanical aids when possible. • Instruct workers assigned to handle materials on how to lift and carry them, keeping in mind the physical characteristics of the worker. • Ensure workers with a heavy lift understand the signals for raising and lowering load. • Provide and ensure that workers handling materials that are likely to puncture, scratch, or irritate the hands or arms wear appropriate PPE. Workers must: • See if mechanical lifting aids are available. • Follow safe lifting practices. • Know how to recognize a lifting hazard and report concerns. • Take rest breaks to prevent fatigue. • Report any discomfort to your supervisor. • Use PPE when necessary.

▶ Material Handling ▶Manual Handling ▶Hazards Injury to operatives Damage to material ▶Precautions Where possible, mechanical lifting equipment shall be used: ▪No employee shall be asked to carry loads above his capacity and in any case no load shall exceed 32kg. ▪ Establish good footing. ▪ Place feet about shoulder width apart. ▪ Bend at the knees to grasp the weight ▪ Keep the back straight. ▪ Get a firm hold. ▪ Lift gradually by straightening the legs. ▪ When the weight is too heavy or bulky to lift comfortably, get help ▪ Take small steps, keeping the load close to your body and not more than waist high. Do not twist your body move your feet to turn; and when putting down, reverse this procedure.❓

"Alert to all employees" Weight handling is the most common activity in all industries, so precaution need to be taken, Proper weight handling is vital to prevent accidents, injuries, and equipment damage in the workplace. Incorrect lifting or inadequate securing of loads can lead to serious incidents, such as dropped weights or strain injuries.

JUNE #TOOLBOXTALK🧰 Did you know approximately 500,000 workers in the UK suffer from work-related musculoskeletal disorders? Manual handling involves lifting, carrying, pushing, or pulling loads by bodily force. Using mechanical aids and proper lifting techniques can minimise risks and prevent injuries. However, improper use of mechanical aids can create new hazards. Our latest toolbox talk discusses manual handling risks and appropriate lifting techniques.

𝗝𝗛𝗔 – 𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲   In any workplace, safety is paramount, especially when it comes to operating heavy machinery. A 𝗝𝗼𝗯 𝗛𝗮𝘇𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗔𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝗶𝘀 (𝗝𝗛𝗔) is a crucial tool used to identify potential hazards associated with specific job tasks and establish preventive measures to mitigate risks effectively.   The image below presents an example of a JHA focusing on the operation of a forklift. This analysis breaks down the task into its essential components, identifies potential hazards at each step, and outlines recommended controls and safety measures to ensure the safe operation of the forklift.   By conducting a comprehensive JHA, employers and workers can proactively address safety concerns, promote a culture of safety awareness, and ultimately reduce the likelihood of accidents and injuries in the workplace.   Keep in mind that this is an example. Every job has its own characteristics and you have to apply the tool having in mind that specific task.   Can you identify more hazards involved in operating a forklift? #safetyengineering #healthandsafety #safetyculture #workplacesafety #riskassessment

Safe Manual handling Techniques could be the only option sometimes. Don’t celebrate Xmas and forget Sunday😃 At what posture do you lift weight ? Weight lifting is a very common phenomenon on all sites no matter the availability of Lifting equipment , machines and tools. Manual handling can never be completely eradicated . Being a hazardous ⚠️ activity but also has its crucial Role in pushing work futher :facing reality. In some cases we prefer it done manually due to distance,volumic nature ,size, unnecessary expenditure, material type ,the shape ,the weather conditions, manpower availability just to name a few Getting body pains injury after weight lifting or material shifting , manual handling also depends on the body posture applied in the process not necessarily the weight of the material being lifted or howlong operating such activity It takes only techniques to mitigate this risk to a low< Apply safe lifting techniques so no worker will complain of body pains or Absent on work days to keep operation booming.

Day 2 - Technique Tuesday :📦👷♂️👷♀️ Manual handling is classed as any transporting or supporting of a load by one or more people. The term is used to cover a wide variety of activities including lifting, lowering, pushing, pulling and carrying. These types of tasks are carried out regularly in the workplace and if not done correctly can cause injury which will impact both the injured employee and the employer. Manual handling can be required anywhere in the workplace and the risk of injury is increased when there is an existing or previous injury, or when heavy manual labour, awkward postures and repetitive movements of arms, legs and back are carried out. Some may think an injury occurring from incorrect manual handling may seem trivial, or superficial, but often these types of injuries can have long term effects. #healthandsafetyweek #svella #manualhandling

Major Breakdown Problems in Airless Shot Peening machine: 1) The impeller and blades are subject to high wear. 2) Leakage of shot media from the machine leads to media wastage, environmental contamination and safety hazards. 3) Excessive dust in the workplace leads to health risks and affect the performance of the machine. 4) Worn out of various machine parts, such as wear plates, liners, and conveyors. 5) Poor shot life 6)Excessive vibration in the machine 7) Issues with the control system Preventive Activities: i)Schedule routine inspections of all critical components. Perform preventive maintenance tasks as per the manufacturer's recommendations. ii) Regularly monitor and maintain the quality of the shot media. Use separators and classifiers to remove broken and worn-out media. Store media in a clean, dry environment to prevent contamination. iii) Properly maintain dust collection and filtration systems. Ensure proper ventilation in the peening facility. iv) Train operators on proper machine operation, maintenance, and safety procedures. v) Balancing and Alignment: Regularly balance and align rotating components to minimize vibration. Inspect and tighten bolts and fasteners to ensure machine stability. Replace worn-out parts that contribute to imbalances and misalignment.
