    Introduction

    • Handling and storing materials involve diverse operations such as hoisting tons of steel with a crane; driving a truck loaded with concrete blocks; carrying bags or materials manually; and stacking palletized bricks or other materials such as drums, barrels, kegs, and lumber.
    • The efficient handling and storing of materials are vital to industry. In addition to raw materials, these operations provide a continuous flow of parts and assemblies through the workplace and ensure that materials are available when needed. Unfortunately, the improper handling and storing of materials often result in costly injuries.
    • What should your employees know before moving, handling, and storing materials?
    • …

    What are the potential hazards for workers?

    • Workers frequently cite the weight and bulkiness of objects that they lift as major contributing factors to their injuries. In 1999, for example, more than 420,000 workplace accidents resulted in back injuries. Bending, followed by twisting and turning, were the more commonly cited movements that caused back injuries.
    • Other hazards include falling objects, improperly stacked materials, and various types of equipment. You should make your employees aware of potential injuries that can occur when manually moving materials, including the following:
    • Strains and sprains from lifting loads improperly or from carrying loads that are either too large or too heavy,
    • …
  6. Page 7
    • Using the following personal protective equipment prevents needless injuries when manually moving materials:
    • Hand and forearm protection, such as gloves, for loads with sharp or rough edges.
    • Eye protection.
    • Steel-toed safety shoes or boots.
    • Metal, fiber, or plastic metatarsal guards to protect the instep area from impact or compression.
    • See OSHA’s booklet, Personal Protective Equipment (OSHA 3077), for additional information.
    • Employees should use blocking materials to manage loads safely. Workers should also be cautious when placing blocks under a raised load to ensure that the load is not released before removing their hands from under the load. Blocking materials and timbers should be large and strong enough to support the load safely. …
    • …
  7. Page 8
    • Although workers may be knowledgeable about powered equipment, they should take precautions when stacking and storing material. When picking up items with a powered industrial truck, workers must do the following:
    • Center the load on the forks as close to the mast as possible to minimize the potential for the truck tipping or the load falling,
    • Avoid overloading a lift truck because it impairs control and causes tipping over,
    • Do not place extra weight on the rear of a counterbalanced forklift to allow an overload,
    • Adjust the load to the lowest position when traveling,
    • Follow the truck manufacturer’s operational requirements, and
    • Pile and cross-tier all stacked loads correctly when possible.
    • What precautions must workers take to avoid storage hazards?
    • …
  8. Page 9

    What safeguards must workers follow when stacking materials?

    • Separate noncompatible material; and
    • Equip employees who work on stored grain in silos, hoppers, or tanks, with lifelines and safety belts.
    • In addition, workers should consider placing bound material on racks, and secure it by stacking, blocking, or interlocking to prevent it from sliding, falling, or collapsing.
    • Stacking materials can be dangerous if workers do not follow safety guidelines. Falling materials and collapsing loads can crush or pin workers, causing injuries or death. To help prevent injuries when stacking materials, workers must do the following:
    • Stack lumber no more than 16 feet high if it is handled manually, and no more than 20 feet if using a forklift;
    • …
  9. Page 10

    During materials stacking activities, workers must also do the following:

    • Store baled paper and rags inside a building no closer than 18 inches to the walls, partitions, or sprinkler heads;
    • Band boxed materials or secure them with cross-ties or shrink plastic fiber;
    • Stack drums, barrels, and kegs symmetrically;
    • Block the bottom tiers of drums, barrels, and kegs to keep them from rolling if stored on their sides;
    • Place planks, sheets of plywood dunnage, or pallets between each tier of drums, barrels, and kegs to make a firm, flat, stacking surface when stacking on end;
    • Chock the bottom tier of drums, barrels, and kegs on each side to prevent shifting in either direction when stacking two or more tiers high; and
    • …
  10. Page 11

    Important Safety Measures

    • To reduce the number of accidents associated with workplace equipment, employers must train employees in the proper use and limitations of the equipment they operate. In addition to powered industrial trucks, this includes knowing how to safely and effectively use equipment such as conveyors, cranes, and slings.
    • What safety measures should employers take regarding conveyors?
    • When using conveyors, workers may get their hands caught in nip points where the conveyor medium runs near the frame or over support members or rollers. Workers also may be struck by material falling off the conveyor, or they may get caught in the conveyor and drawn into the conveyor path as a result. …
    • …
  11. Page 12

    What safety measures should employers take regarding cranes?

    • material. (If the crossover is low enough for workers to run into it, mark the guard with a warning sign or paint it a bright color to protect employees.)
    • Cover screw conveyors completely except at loading and discharging points. (At those points, guards must protect employees against contacting the moving screw. The guards are movable, and they must be interlocked to prevent conveyor movement when the guards are not in place.)
    • Employers must permit only thoroughly trained and competent workers to operate cranes. Operators should know what they are lifting and what it weighs. For example, the rated capacity of mobile cranes varies with the length of the boom and the boom radius. …
    • …
  12. Page 13
    • Require workers to always check the crane’s load chart to ensure that the crane will not be overloaded by operating conditions.
    • Instruct workers to plan lifts before starting them to ensure that they are safe.
    • Tell workers to take additional precautions and exercise extra care when operating around power lines.
    • Teach workers that outriggers on mobile cranes must rest on firm ground, on timbers, or be sufficiently cribbed to spread the weight of the crane and the load over a large enough area. (Some mobile cranes cannot operate with outriggers in the traveling position.)
    • Direct workers to always keep hoisting chains and ropes free of kinks or twists and never wrapped around a load.
    • …
  13. Page 14

    What must employers do to ensure the safe use of slings?

    • As an employer, you must designate a competent person to conduct inspections of slings before and during use, especially when service conditions warrant. In addition, you must ensure that workers observe the following precautions when working with slings:
    • Remove immediately damaged or defective slings from service.
    • Do not shorten slings with knots or bolts or other makeshift devices.
    • Do not kink sling legs.
    • Do not load slings beyond their rated capacity.
    • Keep suspended loads clear of all obstructions.
    • Remain clear of loads about to be lifted and suspended.
    • Do not engage in shock loading.
    • Avoid sudden crane acceleration and deceleration when moving suspended loads.
    • …
  14. Page 15

    What are the safety requirements for design?

    • All new powered industrial trucks, except vehicles intended primarily for earth moving or over-the-road hauling, must meet the design and construction requirements for powered industrial trucks established in the American National Standard for Powered Industrial Trucks, Part II, ANSI B56.1-1969. Trucks approved for fire safety also must bear a label, or some other identifying mark, indicating acceptance by a nationally recognized testing laboratory.
    • What are the safety requirements for modification?
    • You and your employees must not make modifications and additions affecting capacity and safe operation of the trucks without the manufacturer’s prior written approval. …
    • …

    • Isoprene
    • Hydrogen (or gases or vapors equivalent in hazard to hydrogen)
    • Ethylene oxide
    • Propylene oxide
    • Diethyl ether
    • Unsymmetrical dimethyl hydrazine
    • In addition, workers may not use these trucks in atmospheres containing hazardous concentrations of metal dust, including aluminum, magnesium, and other metals of similarly hazardous characteristics. In atmospheres containing carbon black, coal, or coke dust, workers may use only approved powered industrial trucks designated as EX. Where dusts of magnesium, aluminum, or bronze may be present, fuses, switches, motor controllers, and circuit breakers of trucks must have enclosures specifically approved for such locations.
    • …
  16. Page 17
    • Workers may use these specially designed powered industrial trucks in locations where volatile flammable liquids or flammable gases are handled, processed, or used. The liquids, vapors, or gases should be confined within closed containers or closed systems and not allowed to escape. These trucks are approved and generally designated as DS, DY, ES, EE, EX, GS, or LPS. See Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 1910.178(b) for more detail on these designations.
    • What safety precautions should employers and workers observe when operating or maintaining powered industrial trucks?
    • When operating or maintaining powered industrial trucks, you and your employees must consider the following safety precautions:
    • …
  17. Page 18
    • Do not place arms and legs between the uprights of the mast or outside the running lines of the truck.
    • Set brakes and put other adequate protection in place to prevent movement of trucks, trailers, or railroad cars when using powered industrial trucks to load or unload materials onto them.
    • Provide sufficient headroom under overhead installations, lights, pipes, and sprinkler systems.
    • Provide personnel on the loading platform with the means to shut off power to the truck whenever a truck is equipped with vertical only (or vertical and horizontal) controls elevatable with the lifting carriage or forks for lifting personnel.
    • Secure dockboards or bridge plates properly so they won’t move when equipment moves over them.
    • Handle only stable or safely arranged loads.
    • …
  18. Page 19
    • the identity of the person(s) performing the training or evaluation. In addition, you must conduct an evaluation of each powered industrial truck operator’s performance at least once every 3 years.
    • You must also conduct such an evaluation as well as refresher training if one of the following applies:
    • Operator is observed operating the vehicle in an unsafe manner;
    • Operator is involved in an accident or near-miss incident;
    • Operator receives an evaluation revealing unsafe operation of the truck;
    • Operator is assigned to drive a different type of truck; or

    Basic Safety and Health Principles

    • Employers can reduce injuries resulting from handling and storing materials by using some basic safety procedures such as adopting sound ergonomics practices, taking general fire safety precautions, and keeping aisles and passageways clear.
    • What Is Ergonomics?
    • Ergonomics is defined as the study of work and is based on the principle that the job should be adapted to fit the person rather than forcing the person to fit the job. Ergonomics focuses on the work environment, such as its design and function, as well as items—such as the design and function of work stations, controls, displays, safety devices, tools, and lighting to fit the employees’ physical requirements and to ensure their health and well being.
    • …
  20. Page 21

    What About Aisles and Passageways?

    • where smoking and using an open flame or a spark-producing device is prohibited. Dissimilar materials that are dangerous when they come into contact with each other must be stored apart.
    • When using aisles and passageways to move materials mechanically, workers must allow sufficient clearance for aisles at loading docks, through doorways, wherever turns must be made, and in other parts of the workplace. Providing sufficient clearance for mechanically-moved materials will prevent workers from being pinned between the equipment and fixtures in the workplace, such as walls, racks, posts, or other machines. Sufficient clearance also will prevent the load from striking an obstruction and falling on an employee.
    • …
  21. Page 22

    Training and Education

    • OSHA recommends that employers establish a formal training program to teach workers how to recognize and avoid materials handling hazards. Instructors should be well-versed in safety engineering and materials handling and storing. The training should reduce workplace hazards by emphasizing the following factors:
    • Dangers of lifting without proper training.
    • Avoidance of unnecessary physical stress and strain.
    • Awareness of what a worker can comfortably handle without undue strain.
    • Use of equipment properly.
    • Recognition of potential hazards and how to prevent or correct them.
    • Should the prevention of some injuries receive special emphasis?
    • Yes. Because of the high incidence of back injuries, both supervisors and employees should demonstrate…
    • …
  22. Page 23

    How can employers make their training programs more effective?

    • Safe postures for lifting and timing for smooth, easy lifting.
    • Aids such as stages, platforms, or steps, trestles, shoulder pads, handles, and wheels.
    • Body responses—warning signals—to be aware of when lifting.
    • To have an effective safety and health program covering materials handling and storing, your managers must take an active role in its development. You must convince first-line supervisors of the importance of controlling hazards associated with materials handling and storing and hold them accountable for employee training. An ongoing safety and health management system can motivate employees to continue using necessary protective gear and observing proper job procedures. …

    OSHA Assistance

    • OSHA can provide extensive help through a variety of programs, including technical assistance about effective safety and health programs, state plans, workplace consultations, voluntary protection programs, strategic partnerships, and training and education, and more. Safety and health add value to your business, to your work, and to your life.
    • What are safety and health system management guidelines?
    • Effective management of worker safety and health protection is a decisive factor in reducing the extent and severity of work-related injuries and illnesses and their related costs. In fact, an effective safety and health program forms the basis of good worker protection and can save time and money–about $4 for every dollar spent–and increase…

    What is the Strategic Partnership Program?

    • OSHA’s Strategic Partnership Program, the newest member of OSHA’s cooperative programs, helps encourage, assist, and recognize the efforts of partners to eliminate serious workplace hazards and achieve a high level of worker safety and health. Whereas OSHA’s Consultation Program and VPP entail one-on-one relationships between OSHA and individual worksites, most strategic partnerships seek to have a broader impact by building cooperative relationships with groups of employers and employees. These partnerships are voluntary, cooperative relationships between OSHA, employers, employee representatives, and others (e.g., trade unions, trade and professional associations, universities, and other government agencies).
