You also have to put the full NAME AND ADDRESS of the shipper and the consignee on every IATA overpack. Total quantity on an IATA overpack is only required when shipping more than one overpack.
Hi Dan. Thanks for your videos. For overpack language requirements, the ADR states it needs to be language of the country of origin. From a transport definition, is this the country the goods are being shipped from?
Initial pull is best with two hands but once the pallet jack is moving you can pull with the one hand if it's within your handling capability. I would recommend stopping it with both hands - but don't forget the body weight - pulling and pushing comes from your body weight and your legs - the arms and hands are just force transfer units
i would question the means of pulling the pallet truck in such a way which would put strain on both the shoulder joints, with the space shown in the video why would you not just push the pallet truck? i understand this is being used on a smooth surface, but should for some reason the surface hit a bump or lock resulting in an immediate stopping of the pallet, your at risk of dislocating one if not both shoulders
Interesting comment Richard - a dislocation of the shoulder joint is not one of the injuries that we see from improper use of a pallet truck, Remember that pallet trucks are to be used on smooth floors (warehouse) and any other type of floor with obstructions should be using a powered industrial truck (PPT / FLT).
In the US, OSHA recommends that pallet trucks be pushed. Legs are stronger than the back and shoulders creating ergonomics issues if the pallet truck is pulled. Also I have seen so many times where people go to stop and the pallet truck has so much weight that it doesn't stop running over the employees foot and breaking toes and feet. There were 4 incidents in 1 year at our company. At the site I manage, I require all pallet trucks to be pushed unless maneuvering into tight spots.
@@juliedelrosario2964 Hi Julie - apologies for the delay in replying. There are a couple of issues with pushing a pallet truck - the first is obstructed view - a standard palletised load will restrict forward vision - as is common with all other types of workplace truck - restricted forward vision mean that you proceed in reverse so that you have the clearest view. Second point is that t he legs and body weight are used to get the pallet moving and the legs and body weight continue to act as the pulling power. Stopping the load is about planning the route and knowing when to slow down - friction and the reduced pulling will bring a pallet to a comfortable speed to stop with your body weight resisting - inclines/ramps - I would agree - you shouldn't attempt to stop it with your body weight - but on a flat surface? Yes. Pushing pallet trucks present more upper body injury risks than pulling. Plus you are not in full control of the pallet truck. We could discuss this point ad infinitum - but the real truth is - if you are having less injuries as a result of what you are telling your team to do - then that works for you - but are you seeing a reduction in long-term manual handling injuries? This is how we are trained and instructed to do it in the UK. Stay safe and thanks for the comment
Hi - to begin with holding the handle straight up against the ‘shoulder’ of the pallet truck and pushing into the pallet is the best way to offer. It means you have to take small ‘pigeon’ steps on the approach but with practice you will get there.
Hi Raya - COSHH is the set of Uk/Europe regulations concerning chemical safety in the workplace - MSDS is an American way of saying SDS - Safety Data Sheet which we all have to use following the implementation of GHS back in 2015. Hope this helps
Alas the DG codes have to complied with - if I understand your statement correctly - the overpack would cover up package colours - therefore overpack labels and marks would be readily visible.
@@danleetrainingltd Being tuffly associated within the borders of the subject of the video it's not easy to overcome already known in Overpacks and see new horizons. For example you know if one have written or printed or painted something somewhere on a wall let's say 29000 years ago does it mean that someone should Pack the wall over and leave the same marks today for so called advanced boys and girls of nowadays....
@@СергейШилов-ь3о Alas I am unable to comprehend your meaning - nor do I wish further explanation. Anything that was written / created 2000 years ago would be viewed in the future as historical and not present. I am flattered to think that this video will last longer than you or I will live but as there are more important things for both of us to do in our lives - let's end this thread of conversation as it is only taking up those moments that we can't get back. Thanks.
Your explanation is concise & crystal clear: precisely what I was looking for. Thank you. I know it's not that complicated, but by god, some people manage to make it seem like the theory of relativity.
