Manual Material Handling – Toolbox Talk

One poor lift can cost months off the job. This Manual Material Handling Toolbox Talk helps your crew avoid soft tissue injuries by reinforcing proper lifting, pushing, pulling, and carrying techniques. It’s more than “lift with your legs”—it’s a real-world prevention talk based on ergonomic risk, not guesswork.

 

Built for construction, warehousing, manufacturing, and field operations, this session highlights how smart habits—not brute strength—keep workers safe.

 

What’s Included:

3-page Toolbox Talk Kit:

  • 1-page Topic Overview – outlines strain hazards, lifting form, and mechanical aid reminders

  • 1-page Supervisor Guide – includes demo prep, discussion questions, real injury scenarios, and pre-task warmups

  • 1-page Printable Sign-In Sheet – formatted for COR/SECOR, ISNetworld, and internal audit compliance

 

Why It’s Different:

This talk builds prevention into the job,  not just after an injury:

  • Includes warm-up suggestions, safe load limits, and self-check prompts

  • Real discussion: “Why don’t we use carts more often?” “What stops people from asking for help?”

  • Add-on tools like posture posters, 60-second lifting drills, and ergonomic QR guides

  • Reinforces that using equipment is strength, not a weakness

 

Perfect For:

  • Construction, warehouse, facility, and trades workers

  • Material handling safety meetings, ergonomic refreshers, and COR/SECOR audits

  • Pre-shift warm-up or seasonal lifting injury prevention campaigns

  • Programs aligned with OH&S, CSA ergonomics, and workplace health standards
