About the Lifting Meeting Sheet
This Lifting Meeting Sheet from LTCW is a resource for any workplace where lifting is a routine task, designed to prevent injuries associated with lifting objects. It emphasizes the importance of planning and executing lifts safely, considering the weight, shape, and size of objects. The guide encourages workers to assess the feasibility of moving an object, use appropriate equipment, and request assistance to distribute the load effectively. It suggests breaking up heavy items into smaller parts if possible and ensuring clear communication among team members about their roles and the lifting path. Important tips include removing tripping hazards, using proper lifting techniques like squatting and keeping the load close to the body, and avoiding twisting movements to protect against musculoskeletal injuries.
