Description

Loading and unloading of vehicles are activities which heighten the chance of workplace injuries. Manual handling includes lifting, but also usually climbing, pushing, and pulling, all of which pose the risk of injury to the back. In many cases there is a lack of the necessary training and tools. This checklist is meant to help you to manage the risks.

 

Das Beladen und Entladen von Fahrzeugen führt oft zu folgenschweren Unfällen und Gesundheitsschäden. Vielfach fehlt es an den nötigen Instruktionen und geeigneten Hilfsmitteln.
Mit dieser Checkliste bekommen Sie solche Gefahren besser in den Griff.
