PLANNING MANUAL HANDLING
20 min.
The aim of this lesson is to enable the participants to reduce the risk of injury resulting from incorrect manual handling by assessing the risks and planning the task.
To successfully complete this BST Module, participants shall be able to:
Explain the Task Individual Load Environment (T.I.L.E.) Principle (L2 – Knowledge)
Explain how to assess and control risks and aggravating factors using a MAC tool (L2 – Knowledge)
Explain further Control Measures (L2 – Knowledge)
Note: Please refer to Annex 5: Manual handling risk assessment for details on T.I.L.E. Principle and assessing aggravating factors and risks. Annex 5 may be used as a basis for developing training material.
ELEMENT 4.1 - T.I.L.E. PRINCIPLE
The instructor shall:
Lead a discussion about basic, quick risk assessment, e.g. identification of aggravating factors, assess the level of risk, control the risk Lead a discussion about planning Manual Handling correctly by using the T.I.L.E. principle, including load weight, reaching distance and aggravating factors: a. Task (e.g. reaching, bending, stooping, repetition, duration, location, distance, hazards, pace)
b. Individual (e.g. warm-up, posture, capability, height, size)
c. Load (e.g. weight and reaching distance, handles, size, temperature, texture)
d. Environment (e.g. space constraints, cold or heat, rain, wind, obstacles, stairs, poor lighting, vibrating, floor conditions)
Participants shall:
Explain the T.I.L.E principle, and how to mitigate aggravating factors and risks
ELEMENT 4.2 - FURTHER CONTROL MEASURES
The instructor shall:
Explain further control measures to reduce risk of injury, including:
a. Mechanical handling (e.g. cranes, scissor lifts, trolleys, steps)
b. PPE correct fit (e.g. correct sizes, boot laces tied)
