The document examines roll handling processes at a plant and identifies potential safety issues. It analyzes the current process which requires lifting heavy rolls into various positions. To address ergonomic risks, the document considers and tests potential solutions. It determines that a machine to lift and maneuver the rolls is the best alternative to eliminate twisting motions and heavy lifting. The machine would lift rolls faster than manual handling and provide protection from back injuries while having a quick payback period through increased productivity and lower workers compensation costs. In conclusion, the group thanks the company for the opportunity to evaluate safety and propose improvements.

Stay Safe While Using A Forklift Ensure both forks are as far under the load as possible before lifting. Drive with the load as low as safely possible. Pay attention to posted speed limits and warning signs. Always look in the direction you're traveling; if a load blocks the view ahead, travel in reverse.
PowerLogistics Asia 2014 - Lifting & Hoisting - Best Practices – P V N Chandr...PowerLift Events
www.powerlogisticsasia.com is an annual project logistics event which is taking place in Singapore. The event brings together the heavy transport and lifting industry that is catering to the oil, gas, heavy engineering, power, mining and other related industries. It offers a great opportunity for participants to hold up the flag in the South East Asian project cargo market. It comprises of educational workshops, conferences, seminars and an exhibition.

2. Thank You
● Our group would like to thank Spaulding Composites for giving us
the opportunity of working with them at their plant. This opportunity
has bettered us as safety professionals and will help us begin our
careers.

3. Overview
● Scope of Work
● Methods and Findings
● Videos
● Controls/Recommendations
● Questions & Answer Period
● Closing

4. Agenda
● Examined Warehouse
● Thoroughly watched/recorded process
● Determined Possible Solutions
● Followed up with Research
● Chose best Alternative
4
5. Scope Of Work
● Roll Handling Process
● Ergonomics
● Eliminating Injuries
5
6. Roll Handling Process
● Rolls must travel from point A to Point B
● Rolls must be maneuvered from horizontal to vertical or
vice versa
● Roll must be held in place while rod is put through the
center of the roll
● Rod with roll on it must be placed onto machine and
locked into place
6
8. Ergonomics
● Eliminate improper lifting
● Incorporate easily usable Machinery
● Prolong the Workers Career
● Avoid unnecessary costs due to Workers Compensation
8
9. NIOSH Lifting Equation
● Specific Parameters must be met:
○ No twists/turns
○ Load is held 25cm from body
○ Load is held 75cm from the floor
○ Load should not be lifted more than an
additional 25 cm
○ Handles are present allowing for easy
carrying
○ Low frequency of lifts: 1 per 5 minutes per
8 hour shift
9
10. Methods
● Unsuccessful methods
o PPE
Use of back belts
Incorporating handles onto rolls
o Administrative
Job Rotation
Different Type of Training
10
11. Methods
● Successful Methods
o Engineering Controls
Equipment to Move Rolls
● Lifts
● Rotates
● Holds in Place
● Weighs excess
11
13. Specs of Machine
● Lifts up to 600 Pounds
● Fits through 30” wide clearance
● Powered by 24 volt rechargeable battery
● Lifts up to 6’ above ground
13
14. Additional Options
● 12” or 26” Clamp
● Side shifters: Allowing the roll to move 4” side to side
● Clamping Pressure Regulator
● Scales to weigh unused materials
14
15. Findings
● Lifting without handles exponentially increases difficulty
● With handles, team lifting would still be needed due to
overwhelming weight
● Use of manpower can not eliminate twisting motion as
seen in unloading process
15
16. Findings
● During transition process:
o Roll is twisted into upright position
o Roll may or may not be located at proper distance
from body and floor
o Depending on where the roll is grabbed, it obeys the
additional height rule
o Handles are not present, making the lift much more
difficult
o Low frequency of lifts per day
16
17. Machine Disadvantages
● Large cost up front
● Provide training on new equipment to employees
● Wait time for shipping
17
18. Machine Advantages
● Avoid lower back injuries from lifting/twisting
● Operates faster than employees manually transferring rolls
● Multiple different attachments
● Provides alternative for easier weighing of excess
● Quick payback period from:
o Increased productivity
o Decreased workers comp claims
18
20. Closing
● Again, we want to thank Spaulding Composite’s Inc. for
providing us the opportunity of gaining experience and
furthering our knowledge on providing workers with a
safe workplace.
