Sample Lesson Plan

Construction Training Program (10-hour)

Topic: Materials Handling, Storage, Use and Disposal


Overview of OSHA Standard
Handling and storing materials involves operations such as hoisting steel with a
crane, driving a truck loaded with concrete blocks, manually carrying bags, and stacking
drums, lumber or loose bricks. Improper handling and storing of materials can cause
costly injuries.
Workers frequently cite the weight and bulkiness of objects being lifted as causes
of their injuries. Bending, twisting and turning are movements that cause back injuries.
Back injuries account for over 20 percent of all occupational illnesses. The majority of
over-exertion cases with lost-workdays are due to lifting, pushing/pulling, and carrying.
Those cases represent 27 percent of all lost-workday cases.
Workers can also be injured by falling objects, improperly stacked materials or by
equipment. Potential injuries include strains/sprains from improperly lifting loads or
carrying loads that are too large or heavy, fractures/bruises caused by being struck by
materials or being caught in pinch points, and cuts/bruises caused by falling materials that
were improperly stored or by incorrectly cutting ties or other securing devices.
