Key Hazards
- Back strain from poor posture
- Falls from overreaching
- Load instability from improper wrapping
2–3 Minute Talk Script
Safe use of manual stretch wrap is important in warehouses, shipping docks, and inventory areas. Poor wrapping technique can cause loads to shift during transport.
Workers should walk around pallets instead of twisting their torso while wrapping.
Different materials require different wrap tension for stability.
Using a wrap dispenser improves grip and reduces wrist strain.
Safety Reminders
- Walk around pallets instead of twisting.
- Use proper wrap tension.
- Use dispensers to improve control.
- Check load stability after wrapping.
Ask the Crew
- Is the load secure enough for transport?
- Do we need extra wrap layers for this shipment?
