Safe Manual Handling
General
The following advice should be adhered to, from when first handling the boiler to the final stages of installation, and also during maintenance.
Most injuries as a result of inappropriate handling and lifting are to the back, but all other parts of the body are vulnerable, particularly shoulders, arms and hands.
Health & Safety is the responsibility of EVERYONE.
There is no 'safe' limit for one man ­ each person has different capabilities. The boiler should be handled and lifted using a suitable lifting device. A sack truck is ideal for
manoeuvring the appliance to the room where the installation is to take place.
Do not handle or lift unless you feel physically able.
Wear appropriate Personal Protection Equipment e.g. protective gloves, safety footwear etc.
Preparation
Co­ordinate movements ­ know where, and when, you are all going.
Minimise the number of times needed to move the boiler ­ plan ahead.
Always ensure when handling or lifting the route is clear and unobstructed. If possible avoid steps, wet or slippery surfaces, unlit areas etc. and take special care on ladders/into
lofts.
Technique
When handling or lifting always use safe techniques ­ keep your back straight, bend your knees. Don't twist ­ move your feet, avoid bending forwards and sideways and keep the
load as close to your body as possible.
Where possible transport and manoeuvre the appliance into the installation site (pack weight 120 kg) using a sack truck. Keep the appliance as upright as possible at all times,
see note below.
Always grip the boiler firmly, and before lifting feel where the weight is concentrated to establish the centre of gravity, repositioning yourself as necessary. See the 'Installation'
section of these instructions for recommended lift points.
Remember
The circumstances of each installation are different. Always asses the risks associated with handling and lifting according to the individual conditions.
If at any time when installing the boiler you feel that you may have injured yourself STOP !!
DO NOT 'work through' the pain ­ you may cause further injury.
NOTE: The appliance must be transported at all times in the upright position. The appliance must not be laid on its back / side / front.
