What is the SWL (safe working load) of equipment for?

• The minimum load that must be applied

• the force needed to lift an item

• The maximum load that can be applied

• The floor area needed to use the equipment

If a load is awkward to carry what should you do?

• Try your best to manage on your own

• Ask a colleague for help

• Leave it where it is

• Put a coat over it to protect it and keep it out of sight

If a load is higher that the SWL for the equipment what should you do?

• Do it as quickly and efficiently as possible

• Ask a colleague to what and help

• Find diffent equipment that can cope

• Do it slowly to reduce stress on the equipment

Guidance from the HSE on manual handling operations recommends. 

• A certain amount that is safe for a person to lift.

• Lift only as much as you are comfortable with.

• That two people can carry twice as much as one.

• The maximum weight to be lifted is 25Kg

While making a judgement of the risks involved in lifting a load you should consider:

• Its size and condition.

• Its weight.

• its centre of gravity

• All three previous options.

In making a judgment of "individual capability" for manual handling you assume:

• All men are equally capable.

• All people are equally capable

• Younger men are weak

• All people are different
