Technical seminar “Transport and carrying techniques”

Together we can do it

A specialist seminar on the subject of “Transport and carrying techniques” was held especially for employees of ÖMTV member companies and their subcontractors. Freely following the motto “Anyone can haul! – Really?” Reiner Meissner trains with your employees the targeted use of transport and carrying aids and practices various lifting and carrying techniques.

Lifting has to be learned!

Heavy physical strain caused by lifting, carrying, pulling and pushing is not entirely harmless for the human body. In the heat of the moment, we tend to tackle without thinking and thus risk unpleasant injuries in an emergency. Or musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Traumas such as joint or soft tissue injuries or even permanent damage can be the result.

Two practical examples:

When bending forward to pick up a 10 kg cardboard box, 300 kg act on the intervertebral discs due to the lever principle.
When transporting a 100 kg washing machine up a steep flight of stairs without straps, the intervertebral discs of the upper carrier are subjected to an impact of 1,000 kg!

To prevent such scenarios, we at Lang Moving make “correct lifting and carrying” a matter of course. With the help of regular training by professionals for professionals, we create awareness and a high level of acceptance among our employees.
