Description

The integrated materials handling prevention strategy combines training and intervention and is based on the understanding, observation and analysis of five principles of action. These principles are common to all handling techniques used by workers.

Principle 3: Stabilising the worker-load pair explains the degree of body and load control required to support the load. Depends on the amount of load: the higher it is, the more stable the tandem should be to avoid surprise effects.
