MANUAL HANDLING TECHNIQUES

The SMART lifting technique

This technique can be used to pick up small light loads from low levels.

S ize up the Load

• Assess the load (size, shape and weight).

• Assess whether the load needs to be moved;

• Where is it going to be placed” Check that there are no obstructions;

• Assess whether mechanical or human assistance is required.

M ove the Load as close to the body as possible

• A load is heavier to lift or carry if it is not close to the body.

• The whole hand should be used to ensure a firm grip.

A l ways bend your knees

• Maintain balance.

• Keep feet apart and in a comfortable position.

• Minimise lower back bending.

• Bend knees preferable at as large an angle as possible but not at a

right angle - use a semi squat in preference to a full squat.

R aise the load with your legs

• Achieve the lift smoothly and without jerkiness.

• Maintain the normal curvature of the spine to allow the force of the

load to be distributed evenly from the spine to the pelvis.

T urn your feet in the direction that you want to move the load

• Avoid unnecessary bending, twisting and reaching.

• Change direction by turning your feet and not your back.

• To set the load down, squat down, keep your head up and let your legs

do the work.

Remember to ‘THINK TALL’ chest lifted, shoulders relaxed, chin tucked in and head level.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

• To prolong the life of your stroller keep it clean and do not leave it in

the direct sunlight for extended periods of time.

• Remove fabric covers and trims may be cleaned using warm water with

household soap or mild detergent. Allow it to dry fully, preferably away

from the direct sunlight.

• Non removable fabric covers and trims may be spot cleaned using a

damp sponge with soap or a mild detergent. Allow it to dry completely

before folding or storing it away.

• In some climates the covers and trims may be affected by mould and

mildew. To help prevent this occurring, do not fold or store the product

if it is damp or wet. Always store the product in a well ventilated area.

• When using your stroller at the beach - completely clean your stroller

afterwards to remove the sand and salt from the mechanisms and

wheel assembly. Sand and Salt will cause premature wear and

corrosion.

• If there are compression marks on the tyres - Use a domestic hair dryer

to gently warm (DO NOT OVERHEAT) the tyre and the compression

marks should slowly disappear.

• Always check parts regularly for tightness of screws, nuts and other

fasteners - tighten if required. To maintain the safety of your nursery

product, seek prompt repairs for bent, torn, worn or broken parts. Use

only those parts and accessories approved by Nursery Elegance.
