Westpoort VCA Eindtermen Basis, VOL, VIL VCU Engels

- By separating people and danger using a physical barrier - Custom lighting Hazards and safety precautions for manual lifting and moving Attitude - Lift with a straight back and bent knees - Hold the load as close to the body as possible

- Two equal sound sources together increase the sound (pressure) level by 3 dB (logarithmic effect) - The result of two different sound (pressure) levels together can be determined using a table Relationship between sound (pressure) level and distance Doubling the distance results in a reduction of approximately 6 dB(A) Control measures and priorities 1. Reduce the noise (pressure) level of the noise source 2. Shield sound source 3. Dampen noise and vibrations in the environment 4. Personal hearing protection Noise (pressure) level and necessary measures From 80 dB(A): possibility of hearing examination, provision of hearing protection From 85 dB(A): management plan with measures, wearing hearing protection, signalling with signs Safety measures against vibration hazards - Pay attention when purchasing machines - Applying damping/insulation, e.g. using hand tools with a cushioned handle or using vibration-damping gloves Control measures against too much noise and priorities

Hazards -

Back injuries due to incorrect lifting

- Falling of the load due to insufficient grip - Crushing of fingers when putting down the load

Safety precautions -

Maximum weight to be lifted 23 kg (NL) and 25 kg (BE) (advice)

- - - -

Avoid lifting while sitting

Do not lift too high

Do not move the load too far

Pay attention to slippery, uneven floors, holes and stairs - Set your own pace and take short breaks - Lift slowly

Safety measures for lifting person - Wear PPE - Change positions regularly Elements of the human and work environment system Working environment - Light - Sound - Climate - Vibrations

- -

Applying alternative techniques Limiting the exposure time

Influence factors and control measures for a pleasant working environment Factors (working comfort) - Climatic conditions - Effort - Clothing

Physical strain - Effort - Movement -

Working posture

Simple theoretical backgrounds of sound pressure Sound (pressure) level at two sound sources

Factors (climatic conditions) - Ambient temperature
