Material handling is an essential activity in industries involving the movement, storage, and control of raw materials, components, finished products, and waste materials. It may be performed manually by workers using physical effort or mechanically through equipment such as cranes, forklifts, conveyors, hoists, and lifting machines. Improper material handling practices can lead to serious workplace accidents, injuries, equipment damage, and production losses. In mechanical and electrical safety management, proper planning, risk assessment, training, and implementation of safety procedures are necessary to reduce hazards associated with material handling operations. Manual material handling involves lifting, carrying, pushing, pulling, holding, or moving materials using human effort. One of the major hazards in manual handling is musculoskeletal injury. Workers may suffer from back pain, muscle strain, sprains, and joint injuries due to lifting heavy loads, incorrect lifting posture, or repetitive handling tasks. Excessive physical effort, awkward body positions, and prolonged working periods increase the risk of injuries. Another hazard associated with manual handling is falling of materials. If workers carry unstable, heavy, or improperly arranged loads, the materials may slip from their hands and fall, causing injuries to the feet, hands, or other body parts. Sharp edges, hot surfaces, or hazardous substances present in materials can cause cuts, burns, or exposure injuries. Poor visibility while carrying large objects may result in collisions with other workers, machines, or structures. Fatigue is also a significant hazard in manual material handling. Continuous physical work without adequate rest can reduce worker concentration and increase the possibility of accidents. Workers may make mistakes due to exhaustion, resulting in dropped loads, incorrect handling techniques, or unsafe movements. Lack of proper training and awareness further increases the risk of injuries. Mechanical material handling involves the use of powered equipment and machinery for transporting materials. Although mechanical systems reduce physical effort and
