title: Moving loads manually.
abstract: Many aspects that must be considered in the manual handling of loads are mentioned. These include legal aspects, recommended loads, techniques of lifting and carrying, dress, pulling and pushing, and pace of work. A new film on lifting and handling is noted and a plea is made for industry to consider training one or two workers as instructors in good techniques of physical moving of loads.
