DAY 2
SAFETY MEASURES IN DOING HOUSEHOLD TASKS

Housekeeping is not just cleanliness. It includes keeping work areas neat

and orderly; maintaining halls and floors free of slip and trip hazards; and
removing of waste materials (e.g., paper, cardboard) and other fire hazards from
work areas.

Safe Use
Risks can vary greatly. What important is, whoever has to use any tool or
piece of equipment as part of their job does so with care. To ensure safe use,
employers must orient workers and provide suitable information. They must also
check that workers have the appropriate qualifications to use intricate tools and
equipment. In addition, as part of their health and safety strategy employers
should offer orientation and training. This isn’t necessary for basic items, but when
certain tools and equipment change, orientation and orientation improves skills
and reminds users of safety procedures.

Material handling safety

Handling material is a daily function in the workplace. All too often it is a

task taken for granted, with little knowledge of or attention to the consequences if
done incorrectly.
The National Safety Council offers tips on the following:
Power Lifting
1. Protect Yourself
• Use the correct hand protection; wear gloves to prevent cuts.
• Wear safety shoes to prevent injury to your feet from a dropped item.

2. Size up the Load

A. Determine if you can carry a load comfortably; tip it on its side.
B. Get help if the load is too big or bulky for one person.
C. Check for nails, splinters, rough strapping, and rough edges.
 3. Lift It Right
• Make sure your footing is solid.
• Keep your back straight, with no curving or slouching.
• Center your body over your feet.
• Get a good grasp on the object and pull it close to you.
• Lift with your legs, not your back.
• Move your feet to turn. Don't twist your back.

Tough Lifting Jobs

1. Oversized Loads
• Don't try to carry a big load alone. Ask for help.
• Work as a team. Lift, walk, and lower the load together.  Let one person give
the directions and direct the lift.
2. High Loads
• Use a step stool or a sturdy ladder to reach loads that are above your shoulders.
• Get as close as you can to the load.
• Slide the load toward you.
• Do all the work with your arms and legs, not your back.
3. Low Loads
• Loads that are under racks and cabinets need extra care.
• Pull the load toward you, and then try to support it on your knee before you lift. 
Use your legs to power the lift.
Power Carrying Tips
Your Checklist
• Make sure your footing is firm.
• Ensure enough clearance at doorways to keep your hands and fingers safe.
• Check your route for hazards.
• Take extra care at platforms, loading docks, ramps, and stairs.
• Carry long loads on your shoulders, with front end high.
• Make sure the next person has a firm grip before you hand off the load.
• When you carry with others, everyone should carry the load on the same
shoulder, walk in step, and put the load down as a team.
Back Safety Tips
• Wear the right personal protective equipment for lifting and carrying.
• Lift with your legs, not your back; pivot, don't twist.
• Get help with tough lifting jobs.
• Spend a few minutes each day before work on power warm-ups.
• Exercise regularly to keep your back strong and healthy.
• Eat right, stay slender, and cut down on stress to avoid back injuries.

MAINTENANCE OF CLEANING EQUIPMENT

HOW TO USE THE FLOOR POLISHER?

Nowadays, making your floors shiny is not that much of a hussle. As long as you
know how to use the floor polisher, you can save some time and effort. The
disadvantages of floor polishers, however, are that they are very heavy and that they
can run off and go in different directions, which happens if you do not hold it firmly.
A floor buffer is an electrical appliance that is used to clean and maintain non-
carpeted floors, such as hardwood, marble, tile or linoleum. It is also known as a floor
polisher.

(Use your flash drive to watch Video #3: Floor

Polishing)

HOW TO USE THE VACUUM CLEANER?

A vacuum cleaner helps to facilitate cleaning, it is used to absorb dust and
debris, besides the blowing and suction activity, the vacuum cleaner can likewise do
other cleaning jobs like dirt and pet hair removal from floor coverings, furniture, and
upholsteries.
Vacuum cleaner is a device that uses an air pump to create a partial vacuum to
suck up dust and dirt, usually from floors, and optionally from other surfaces as well.
The dirt is collected by either a dust bag or a cyclone for later disposal.
 (Use your flash drive to watch Video #4: Vacuuming)

Correct Maintenance of Tools and Equipment

                A further part of a health and safety strategy is to maintain tools and equipment
regularly. This helps to identify safety problems before they become a serious hazard. Only
qualified people should carry out the maintenance. They should also keep records of their
inspections.
