4 HEALTH AND SAFETY
Manual Handling, Lifting and Carrying are known to be the largest contributors to
occupational ill-health. Ensure that mechanical handling aids are used whenever
possible to avoid manual handling. Where manual handling is considered appropriate
for the task safe lifting guidelines must be followed, e.g. adopt correct posture,
consider team lifting, employ safe lifting technique, etc.
5 PACKING
•
Every item must be accounted for and discrepancies raised immediately.
•
For packing, Wooden Crates with appropriate size shall be used.
•
The packing shall ensure that the equipment is lying stable during transportation.
•
Special care is to be taken to prevent metal to metal contact. Multiple items are to be
laid out at an appropriate distance apart to avoid metal to metal contact.
•
Large or heavy components should be fastened securely in place using wooden
battens and / or covered metal straps.
•
Sensors shall have the ring groove/probe plastic cover fitted before packing. Sensor
probe ends shall not be less than 20mm from the packing box wall. This is to prevent
damage from external box impacts and ease install and removal.
•
If returning previously dispatched goods in customers own packaging, check for
damage and ensure required standards are met using additional packing if required.
•
Multiple items are to be laid out at an appropriate distance apart to avoid metal to metal
contact. Bubble wrap may be used to protect exposed parts.
•
Larger products (harness etc.) will have any end connectors, junction boxes etc.
wrapped in bubble wrap. These will then be strapped down to the base of the crate
using a metal strap which has a plastic coating (to avoid damaging the product).
•
Wooden battens on top of the products may also be used as a way of restraining
product whilst in transit.
•
Multiple harnesses may be packed together in one box / crate if practical
– where this
happens, appropriate packing and protection will be added.
•
Ensure staples used to attach labels do not protrude through to the inside of any crate.
