Manual handling
- Use drum trolleys, lifters or IBC handling equipment instead of lifting drums manually.
- Break large loads into smaller, manageable loads where possible.
- Use team lifts for heavy or awkward loads, with one person giving clear instructions.
- Take extra care with off-centre or shifting loads, such as part-full containers: the centre of gravity moves during the lift.
- Keep loads close to the body, bend the knees and avoid twisting.
