Basic principles of handling

There are some basic principles that everyone should observe prior to carrying / lifting a large
annunciator:
• Ensure that the object is light enough to lift, is stable and unlikely to shift or move.
• If the object is two heavy or awkward for one person to safely lift ask for help or use a
handling aid.
• Make sure the route is clear of obstructions.
• Make sure there is somewhere to put the load down wherever it is to be moved to.
• Stand as close to the load as possible, and spread your feet to shoulder width.
• Bend your knees and try and keep the back's natural, upright posture.
• Grasp the load firmly as close to the body as you can.
• Use the legs to lift the load in a smooth motion as this offers more leverage reducing
the strain on your back.
• Carry the load close to the body with the elbows tucked into the body.
• Avoid twisting the body as much as possible by turning your feet to position yourself
with the load.
Installation, configuration and maintenance of this annunciator must only
