Sack Truck Training Summary:

When you need to move a sack, boxes, or other items, the use of a truck is the best method. It supports the bottom of the load, and then you lean it into the truck. You need to make sure you are allowed to use the sack truck and make sure that it is maintained to the manufacturer's specification. You need to read instructions for use and make sure you are trained in its correct use. Take care that you lift centrally, have room to move it, and lower it without trapping anything under the load. Take extreme care on slopes as it will be more difficult to control and stop the load.

This course covers general manual handling recommendations laid down by the HSE Manual Handling Regulations 1992, but you MUST check your workplace protocols and practices. Every business conducts its own risk assessments. If in doubt, ask your manager/employer to find out what the exact rules are in your place of work.
