INTRODUCTION TO THE PROGRAM. Structure and Organization Information in this program is presented in a definite order, so that employees will see the relationships between the various groups of information and can retain them more easily. The sections in this program include: - Types of potential hazards. - Planning a job. - Personal protective equipment. - Proper lifting and moving techniques. - Other ergonomic considerations. - Hand-trucks, carts and pallet-trucks. - Mechanical lifting devices.

7 Each of the sections gives an overview of important information in one topic area, providing employees with the basis for understanding how to handle and move various types of MATERIALS safely. Background No one wants to be in an accident. That's why employees take so many precautions when they go about their jobs each day. However, many people feel that HANDLING and moving the MATERIALS they work with every day is an ordinary task, not something that they really need to be concerned about. 106 Capitola Drive Durham, NC 27713. (P) 919-544-6663 (F) 919-544-5800. In spite of this perception (or perhaps because of it) there are hundreds of thousands of MATERIALS HANDLING accidents every year from small splinters, cuts or scrapes, to crushed fingers, hands and even deaths.

8 Employees need to recognize that MATERIALS HANDLING activities can be dangerous. They need to know proper lifting and moving techniques, how to use MATERIALS HANDLING equipment safely and what personal protective equipment should be worn with various types of jobs. Objectives To help employees recognize MATERIALS HANDLING situations that may be hazardous, and how to deal with these situations safely, this education and training program is designed to present basic information in these areas. Upon completion of the program, employees should be able to: - Recognize MATERIALS HANDLING situations that may be hazardous. - Know how to plan their MATERIALS HANDLING work to avoid accidents and injuries.

9 - Use good lifting and moving practices. - Recognize MATERIALS HANDLING situations where other ergonomic considerations come into play. - Know some of the MATERIALS HANDLING equipment that is available to help them with their jobs. - Know the basics of using simple MATERIALS HANDLING equipment safely. 106 Capitola Drive Durham, NC 27713.

Reviewing the Program As with any educational program, the presenter should go through the entire program at least once to become familiar with the content and make sure the program is consistent with company policy and directives. An outline of the points in the program is included in this Leader's Guide to help with this task and for general reference.

10 As part of this review process, you should determine how you, as the presenter, will conduct your session. The use of MATERIALS such as handouts, charts, etc., that may be available to you needs to be well thought out and integrated into the overall program presentation. 106 Capitola Drive Durham, NC 27713.
