Description:MARCOM's "Materials Handling
Safety" Videotape Program provides the information employees need
to work safely when handling various types of materials. Many employees
feel that moving and handling materials that they work with every day
is an "ordinary" task, not something that they really need to
be concerned about. Yet there are hundreds of thousands of "materials
handling" accidents every year... from small splinters, cuts or scrapes...
to crushed fingers, hands and feet... even deaths. The Videotape includes
information on types of potential hazards, planning a job, personal protective
equipment, proper lifting and moving techniques, other ergonomic considerations,
hand trucks, carts and pallet trucks, mechanical lifting devices, and
more. The Videotape Program comes with a comprehensive Leader's Guide,
reproducible Scheduling & Attendance Form, Employee Quiz, Training
Certificate and Training Log.
