    NEBOSH Health & Safety Certificate

    1
    What you need to know

    The hazards, precautions and procedures necessary


    to ensure safety in the use and maintenance of:
    Fork-lift trucks
    Manually operated load moving equipment (sack
    trolleys, pallet trucks, etc);
    Lifts, hoists, conveyors;
    and cranes.

    Lifting Operations & Lifting Equipment


    Regulations (LOLER) 1998 requirements and
    statutory examination of lifting equipment

    2
    Mechanical handling and lifting equipment
    Conveyor hazards:
    In-running nip between drive-rollers and belt
    [quarry accidents during cleaning at bottom roller];
    Entanglement;
    With transmission machinery [chain & sprocket
    drives];
    Conveyor belt/slats.

    Elevator hazards:
    Because loads lifted to height [eg. Materials hoist
    on construction site] the loads can fall onto people
    below if [a] unsecured or [b] people are allowed
    under elevator while it is working.

    Mechanical handling

    4
    Slat and roller conveyors

    5
    Fork-lift trucks
    Accidents:
    Overturning, due to high speed turns, ramp turns, driving
    with raised load, uneven road surface [most fatals];
    see Reg 26 & 27, PUWER 98 and vehicle restraints,
    ROPS.
    Overloading, unstable loads;
    Collisions with
    Overhead obstructions
    Racking systems [eg. Wrexham warehouse];
    Pedestrians, other vehicles.
    Main causes:
    Lack of driver training - see HSEs Rider operated lift trucks
    - operator training COP 26 and PUWER Regs 8&9
    Lack of maintenance [for safety purposes] - PUWER 98,
    Reg 5
    6
    Fork-lift trucks - overloading

    7
    8
    Fork-lift trucks - overturning

    9
    Fork-lift trucks [2]

    Other hazards:
    Fire and explosion;
    Battery re-charging, or;
    Flammable atmosphere [eg. Paint factory];

    Exhaust gas/fumes in confined spaces;


    Hydraulic failure on lifting forks;
    Unauthorised use as a working platform [see
    example].

    10
    Lifts, hoists

    Definition:
    ..incorporates a platform or cage and is restricted in its movement by
    guides. Handbook
    Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998
    features:
    sound mechanical construction - strength & stability [Reg 4]
    interlocked doors or gates - Reg 5
    passenger lifts also need;
    automatic braking system to prevent overruns;
    min. 2 suspension ropes [each can carry max. working
    load];
    safety device to support lift if ropes fail.
