-
Handling a Man
-
Handling Manuals
-
Push, Pulling, Lifting and Carrying
Correct Answer
A. Push, Pulling, Lifting and CarryingExplanation
Manual handling refers to the physical activity of pushing, pulling, lifting, and carrying objects. It involves using one's own body strength to move items, without the assistance of machinery or equipment. This can include tasks such as lifting boxes, pushing heavy trolleys, or carrying bags. It is important to understand the correct techniques for manual handling in order to prevent injuries and strains to the body.Rate this question:

Glass is easier to handle WITHOUT gloves?
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
The statement "Glass is easier to handle WITHOUT gloves" is false. Gloves provide a protective barrier between the hands and the glass, reducing the risk of cuts and injuries. Glass can be slippery and fragile, so wearing gloves can improve grip and provide a layer of insulation against heat or cold. Additionally, gloves can prevent fingerprints and smudges on the glass surface, making it easier to handle and maintain. Therefore, wearing gloves while handling glass is generally recommended for safety and ease of handling.Rate this question:

How should recyclable waste from the installation should be disposed ?
-
In the customer's waste bin
-
By the side of the road
-
Burn it
-
In clearly marked containers
Correct Answer
A. In clearly marked containersExplanation
Recyclable waste from the installation should be disposed in clearly marked containers. This ensures that the waste is properly sorted and can be easily identified as recyclable by waste management personnel. Placing it in the customer's waste bin may lead to confusion and improper disposal. Leaving it by the side of the road is not a responsible or legal method of waste disposal. Burning recyclable waste is also not recommended as it can release harmful pollutants into the environment. Therefore, using clearly marked containers is the most appropriate and environmentally friendly way to dispose of recyclable waste.Rate this question:

Ideally, where should a load be carried?
-
Waist Level
-
Shoulder Level
-
Feet Level
-
Eye Level
Correct Answer
A. Waist LevelExplanation
A load should ideally be carried at waist level. Carrying a load at waist level allows for better balance and stability, as the center of gravity is closer to the body's base of support. This reduces the risk of strain or injury to the back and other muscles. Carrying a load at shoulder level can cause the body to become unbalanced and increase the risk of dropping the load. Carrying a load at feet level can be difficult and awkward, as it requires bending down and putting strain on the back. Carrying a load at eye level can obstruct the field of vision and make it difficult to see obstacles or hazards.Rate this question:

Manual handling can be avoided completely?
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
Manual handling cannot be completely avoided as there are certain tasks that require physical effort and cannot be automated. While efforts can be made to minimize manual handling by using tools, equipment, and technology, there will always be situations where manual handling is necessary. Therefore, the correct answer is False.Rate this question:

Which part of the body is most at risk from manual handling injuries
-
The Eyes
-
The Ears
-
The Feet
-
The Back
Correct Answer
A. The BackExplanation
The back is most at risk from manual handling injuries because it is responsible for supporting the weight of the body and is involved in most physical movements. Lifting, carrying, pushing, and pulling heavy objects can put strain on the back muscles and spine, leading to injuries such as sprains, strains, and herniated discs. It is important to use proper lifting techniques and equipment to minimize the risk of back injuries during manual handling tasks.Rate this question:

It is safer to keep your knees straight when lifting
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
Keeping your knees straight when lifting is actually unsafe. When lifting heavy objects, it is recommended to bend your knees and use the muscles in your legs to lift the weight. Keeping your knees straight puts excessive strain on your back and increases the risk of injury. By bending your knees, you engage your leg muscles and distribute the weight more evenly, reducing the strain on your back.Rate this question:

When carrying an installation item, how quickly should you move?
-
Walking pace
-
As quickly as possible
-
As slowly as possible
Correct Answer
A. Walking paceExplanation
When carrying an installation item, it is recommended to move at a walking pace. This means moving at a moderate speed that allows for stability and control over the item being carried. Moving too quickly can increase the risk of accidents or dropping the item, while moving too slowly may cause delays and inefficiency. Walking pace strikes a balance between maintaining a reasonable speed and ensuring the safety of both the person carrying the item and the item itself.Rate this question:
