Lifting and carrying. It's something we do all the time, and we normally don't think twice about it. But there are good reasons to consider how we lift and carry things, because there are right ways and wrong ways to do it. The materials on a construction site can often be heavy and oddly shaped, and what you don't know about lifting them correctly can hurt you.
MARCOM's training products on "Safe Lifting in Construction Environments" provide the information employees need to protect their backs when they are lifting and carrying.
The DVD versions of the programs are divided into 2 - 3 minute "chapters", so the programs can be shown in their entirety in a single session, or individual chapters can be used as the basis for a number of 10 - 15 minute "Tailgate Meetings" or "Toolbox Talks".
Topics covered in these products include:- The back's structure and function.
- Preparing for a lift.
- The mechanics of safe lifting.
- Planning a "carry."
- ...and more!
