Details

• Corporate Authors:

• Description:
  Before lifting and moving any material, plan the safest route and eliminate slip, trip, and fall hazards. Cover or guard holes so you don't fall through. Label with "Hole" or "Cover" to warn others. Clean up or plan your route around water, oil, and loose dirt. Clear your path of materials, cords, and debris. Prop doors open. Use lifting equipment or ask a coworker for help when materials are oversized or weigh 50 pounds or more. [Description provided by NIOSH]
