This online course is designed to emphasize hazard identification, avoidance and control — not standards, in an effort to train workers on safety issues involving safe handling, use and disposal of manual and machine lifting materials. No attempt has been made to treat the topic exhaustively and it is not to be taken as a substitute for any of the provisions of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 or for any standards issued by the US Department of Labor.

OSHA Standard: 29 CFR 1926 Subpart H (1926.250 to 1926.252)
