14. Agri - Crop Production Quarter 3 - Module 3 Manual Handling Procedures and Techniques
Manual Handling
It is any transporting or
supporting of a load by one or
more workers.

15. Agri - Crop Production Quarter 3 - Module 3 Manual Handling Procedures and Techniques
Manual Handling
It includes the following
activities: lifting, holding,
putting down, pushing,
pulling, carrying or moving of
a load.

16. Agri - Crop Production Quarter 3 - Module 3 Manual Handling Procedures and Techniques
The load can be an animate
(people or animals) or
inanimate (boxes, tools, etc)
object. Manual handling is also
sometimes called ‘manual
material handling’ (MMH).

17. Agri - Crop Production Quarter 3 - Module 3 Manual Handling Procedures and Techniques
Manual handling occurs in
almost all working
environments, though workers
in construction, agriculture,
hotels, and restaurants are
most likely to be exposed to
heavy loads.

18. Agri - Crop Production Quarter 3 - Module 3 Manual Handling Procedures and Techniques
Employers are required to
carry out RISK
ASSESSMENTS and take
action to protect workers
from the risks of manual

19. Agri - Crop Production Quarter 3 - Module 3 Manual Handling Procedures and Techniques
Farm Safety-Manual
Handling
Farmers and farm
workers are commonly
affected by muscle
and ligament strains.

How does minimizing
damage to the load and the
vehicle contribute to
workplace safety?
Brain Pop

21. Agri - Crop Production Quarter 3 - Module 3 Manual Handling Procedures and Techniques
For any lifting activity
Always consider:
• Individual capability
• The nature of the load
• Environmental
conditions
• Training

22. Agri - Crop Production Quarter 3 - Module 3 Manual Handling Procedures and Techniques
Good Handling Technique for Lifting
Remove obstructions from the route.
For a long lift, plan to rest the load midway on a table or bench to
change the grip.
Keep the load close to the waist. The load should be kept
close to the body for as long as possible while lifting.
Keep the heaviest side of the load next to the body.
Adopt a STABLE POSITION and make sure your feet are apart, with one
leg slightly forward to maintain balance.

Things Remember
During Manual
Handling of Loads

24. Agri - Crop Production Quarter 3 - Module 3 Manual Handling Procedures and Techniques
Manual handling accidents
and injuries are often caused
by lifting heavy objects,
including animals incorrectly.

25. Agri - Crop Production Quarter 3 - Module 3 Manual Handling Procedures and Techniques
Can you provide examples of
industries or settings where
minimizing damage during
manual handling is particularly
crucial?
Brain Pop

26. Agri - Crop Production Quarter 3 - Module 3 Manual Handling Procedures and Techniques
Always keep the load
close to your body.
Never lift with your
back.

27. Agri - Crop Production Quarter 3 - Module 3 Manual Handling Procedures and Techniques
Organize your work area
to reduce the amount of
bending, twisting and
stretching required.

28. Agri - Crop Production Quarter 3 - Module 3 Manual Handling Procedures and Techniques
What are the potential
consequences of not
minimizing damage to the
load and the vehicle?
Brain Pop

29. Agri - Crop Production Quarter 3 - Module 3 Manual Handling Procedures and Techniques
Plan ahead. Consider the safest
possible ways of lifting, carrying,
holding, lowering, pushing, and
pulling.

32. Agri - Crop Production Quarter 3 - Module 3 Manual Handling Procedures and Techniques
You have enough grip
on the floor in order
to lean
forward/backward.
Pushing and Pulling

33. Agri - Crop Production Quarter 3 - Module 3 Manual Handling Procedures and Techniques
Pushing and Pulling
You AVOID
twisting, turning
and bending the
back

34. Agri - Crop Production Quarter 3 - Module 3 Manual Handling Procedures and Techniques
Typical risk factors that can increase
the risk of injury include:
Type Of Work
Working In A Fixed Posture
For A Prolonged Period Of
Time
Weight Of An Object
A Heavy Load May Be
Difficult To Lift And Carry

35. Agri - Crop Production Quarter 3 - Module 3 Manual Handling Procedures and Techniques
Location Of An Object
Heavy Objects That Have To Be
Lifted Awkwardly, For Example
Above Shoulder Height Or From
Below Knee Level
Duration And Frequency
Increasing The Number Of Times
An Object Is Handled Or The
Length Of Time For Which It Is
Handled

36. Agri - Crop Production Quarter 3 - Module 3 Manual Handling Procedures and Techniques
Awkward Loads
Loads That Are Difficult
To Grasp, Slippery, Or An
Awkward Shape

37. Agri - Crop Production Quarter 3 - Module 3 Manual Handling Procedures and Techniques
Reducing or eliminating manual
handling risks
• Change The Task – Ask ‘Does This
Task Need To Be Carried Out? If So,
Does It Have To Be Done This Way?’
• Change The Object – For Example,
Repack A Heavy Load Into Smaller
Parcels

38. Agri - Crop Production Quarter 3 - Module 3 Manual Handling Procedures and Techniques
• Change The Workspace – For Example,
Use Ergonomic Furniture And Make Sure
Work Benches Are At Optimum Heights To
Limit Bending Or Stretching
• Change The Environmental Conditions
– Including Heat, Cold And Vibration

39. Agri - Crop Production Quarter 3 - Module 3 Manual Handling Procedures and Techniques
• Use Mechanical Aids – Such As
Wheelbarrows, Conveyor Belts, Cranes, Or
Forklifts
• Change The Nature Of The Work – For
Example, Offer Frequent Breaks Or The Chance
to Do Different Tasks
• Offer Proper Training – Inexperienced
Workers Are More Likely To Be Injured.
