includes keeping work areas neat and orderly;
maintaining halls and floors free of slip and trip
hazards; and removing of waste materials (e.g.,
paper, cardboard) and other fire hazards from work
areas.

13. Safe Use
Risks can vary greatly. What important is,
whoever has to use any tool or piece of equipment as
part of their job does so with care. To ensure safe use,
employers must orient workers and provide suitable
information. They must also check that workers have
the appropriate qualifications to use intricate tools
and equipment. In addition, as part of their health and
safety strategy employers should offer orientation and
training. This isn’t necessary for basic items, but
when certain tools and equipment change, orientation
and orientation improves skills and reminds users of
safety procedures.

14. Material Handling Safety
Handling material is a daily function in the
workplace. All too often it is a task taken for
granted, with little knowledge of or attention to the
consequences if done incorrectly.

15. The National Safety Council offers tips on the
following:
• Power Lifting
1. Protect Yourself.
 Use the correct hand protection; wear gloves to
prevent cuts.
 Wear safety shoes to prevent injury to your feet
from a dropped item.

16. 2. Size up the Load
Deter mine if you can carry a load comfortably;
tip it on its side.
Get help if the load is too big or bulky for one
person.
Check for nails, splinters, rough strapping, and
rough edges.

17. 3. Lift It Right
 Make sure your footing is solid.
Keep your back straight, with no curving or slouching.
Center your body over your feet.
Get a good grasp on the object and pull it close to you.
 Lift with your legs, not your back.
 Move your feet to turn. Don't twist your back.
• Tough Lifting Jobs
1. Oversized Loads.
Don't try to carry a big load alone. Ask for help.
 Work as a team. Lift, walk, and lower the load
together.
Let one person give the directions and direct the lift.

18. 2. High Loads
 Use a step stool or a sturdy ladder to reach loads that
are above your shoulders.
 Get as close as you can to the load.
Slide the load toward you.
Do all the work with your arms and legs, not your
back.
3. Low Loads

care.
Pull the load toward you, and then try to support it on
your knee before you lift.
Use your legs to power the lift.

 When you carry with others, everyone should carry the
load on the same shoulder, walk in step, and put the
load down as a team.

20. 2. Back Safety Tips

21. MAINTENANCE
OF CLEANING
EQUIPMENT
Lesson 2

22. Vacuum cleaners
- Used in homes as well
as in industry.
- Can handle several
hundred liters of dust
before being emptied.
- Self propelled vacuum
trucks for recovery of
large spills or removal of
contaminated soil.

23. Floor buffer
-Electrical appliance that is used
to clean and maintain non-
carpeted floors.
- It is also known as a floor
polisher or floor burnished.
- It has a large, round scrubbing
pad spinning in a circle in one
direction which is powered by a
small motor, usually directly over
the center of the pad.

24. -A further part of a health and safety strategy is to
maintain tools and equipment regularly.
- This helps to identify safety problems before they
become a serious hazard.
- Only qualified people should carry out the
maintenance.
- They should also keep records of their inspections.
Correct Maintenance of Tools and
Equipment

25. There is one important way to follow the rules
and to manage the safe use and maintenance of
tools and equipment. This is to assess and control
the risks.
- Employers should conduct Risk Assessments that
cover the setting up, use and maintenance of tools
and equipment at work.
Management

26. -The risk assessment process must identify the
environments in which workers will use the tools
and equipment; any local conditions that may affect
safety; and how the workers will actually use each
item in practice.
- Risk assessments such as these let employers
know what orientation and training they need to
run.
- The assessments also show what information
employers must make available in the form of
posters, user guides and Safety Signs.

27. By limiting risks in this way, employers have
some control over potential hazards. Specifically,
employers should:
Place guards on machinery to protect fingers and
limbs.
Ensure that system controls have appropriate
warning devices.
Insist staff wear personal protective clothing as
necessary.
Arrange for maintenance when equipment is
safely shut down and not in use.

28. 1. Check electrical appliances and equipment
before use. Check if there are frayed wires, loose
plugs and connections. Never use any appliance
that is defective.
2. Handle equipment with care and make sure it
does not bump on hard surfaces.
3. Clean and store equipment in their custodial
room immediately after use.
General Rules in the Use of Cleaning
Equipment

29. 4. Empty dust bags of dry vacuum cleaners before
they overload and after each use.
5. Follow manufacturer’s operating instruction.
6. Schedule a regular check-up of equipment to
prevent serious breakdown.
7. To avoid electric shock or short circuit, do not
expose equipment to rain or water. Store them
indoors to protect them from getting wet.
Electrical equipment should never be used in
wet surfaces.
