When handling freight and placing items in ULD’s, always ensure you have a straight back, you’re bending your legs to move the freight and keep the load tucked in.
Taking off ULD gates and stepping into the ULD is always recommended for bigger/awkward parcels to avoid unnecessary body stress.
Sensor observations are a highly accurate and objective way of measuring risk during manual handling tasks. By using the correct movement you will help reduce stress and strain on your back, shoulders and neck.
With sensor observations, we measure relative task risk.
