Material Handling Safety

INTRODUCTION – MATERIAL HANDLING SAFETY

Moving materials around tight spaces can cause caught between or struck by injuries. Ensuring that materials are moved in an ergonomic way with mechanical lifting devices can avoid injuries in the work place.

PSC has one of the widest range of material handling tools that enhances safety when deployed in the work place. In addition to what you see in the following pages relating to movement of drums and small tubular components and valves, we can provide a host of safety products like a hoist load limiter (Snubby), a wide range of safety pins for deploying on shackles and hooks, Hillman Roller, anti-abrasion sleeves, etc.

One of the important things with materials movement is that they cannot be avoided all together, however by choosing a process that makes it simple and safe, allows us to improve safety and reduces liabilities related to injuries and damages that can cause to other equipment’s.

Material Handling Safety Includes

Pallet Fork Lifters

Pallet fork lifters features a cushion grip with a 3- position lever and a flow valve for controlled lowering. Push rods are fixed with no adjustment needed.

Drum Lifters

Heavy drums should always be moved with proper drum handling equipment. A full 55-gallon steel drum can weigh over 2,000 pounds, with typical weights of 200 to 400 kgs. When being moved, the contents of your drum may shift inside, making the drum difficult to control or even dangerous.

Mishandling a heavy drum can cause serious injury. Common injuries include a strained back, crushed fingers or hands, and foot trauma. Incidents of dropped drums, or drums rolling out of control, can also cause spills and damage.

Drum handling safety requires a systematic approach to eliminate all possible causes of injury. Always use proper equipment designed for the task when handling heavy drums. Train all employees in proper drum handling safety procedures and use of drum handling equipment.

A split pin, also known as a cotter pin or cotter key, is a metal fastener with two tines that are bent during installation, similar to a staple or rivet. Typically made of thick wire with a half-circular cross section, split pins come in multiple sizes and types.

The shackle is secured using a nut and bolt, with the safety pin providing an extra layer of fastening to further safeguard against the shackle coming loose.
