“Safe Use of Packout Cases”
Key Hazards
- Back strain from lifting stacked cases
- Tip-overs during transport
- Tripping over improperly stored cases
2–3 Minute Talk Script
Safe use of packout cases is important for technicians, mechanics, and construction crews. Modular cases help organize tools but become heavy when stacked.
Workers should avoid lifting multiple connected cases at once. Disconnecting them into manageable sections helps prevent back strain.
Different surface conditions affect stability. Rolling cases across gravel, ramps, or uneven floors can cause tipping.
Keeping storage areas organized prevents tripping hazards and ensures cases do not block pathways or emergency exits.
Safety Reminders
- Lift cases individually when possible.
- Secure cases before rolling.
- Store cases in designated locations.
- Avoid stacking cases too high.
Ask the Crew
- Are today’s cases too heavy to lift alone?
- Do we need to reorganize our storage area?
