MANUAL HANDLING TECHNIQUES

The SMART lifting technique

This technique can be used to pick up small light loads from low levels.

Size up the Load

• Assess the load (size, shape and weight).

• Assess whether the load needs to be moved;

• Where is it going to be placed" Check that there are no obstructions;

• Assess whether mechanical or human assistance is required.

Move the Load as close to the body as possible

• A load is heavier to lift or carry if it is not close to the body.

Always bend your knees

• Maintain balance.

• Keep feet apart and in a comfortable position.

• Minimise lower back bending.

• Bend knees preferably, at as large an angle as possible but not at a right angle - use a semi squat

in preference to a full squat.

Raise the load with your legs

• Achieve the lift smoothly and without jerkiness.

• Maintain the normal curvature of the spine to allow the force of the load to be distributed evenly

from the spine to the pelvis.

Turn your feet in the direction that you want to move the load.

• Avoid unnecessary bending, twisting and reaching.

• Change direction by turning your feet and not your back.

• To set the load down, squat down, keep your head up and let your legs do the work.

• Remember to 'THINK TALL'. Chest lifted, shoulders relaxed, chin tucked in and head

held level.
