1.12 Handling
Manual handling of large and/or heavy products may present a risk of injury. Lifting, pushing,
pulling, carrying or supporting a load by bodily force can cause injury particularly to the back.
You are advised to assess the risks taking into account the task, the individual, the load and the
working environment and use the appropriate handling method depending on the circumstances
of the work being done.
Although the bonnet and handwheel will support the weight of the valve, it is recommended the
slings for lifting are positioned around the back of the pipe flanges on the main body.
