24--Materials Handling and Storage Fig 24-15 -Blind-comer mirrors minimize colbson hazard at doorways, 90-degree turns, and cross-aisles tional Standard Practice for Industrial Light ing, All 1, published by the Illuminating Engineering Society (See Table 46-G in Chapter 46 ) Also see the IES Handbook Special lighting should be provided for op erations requiring greater illumination All lighting fixtures and wiring should be m ac cordance with the requirements of the NFPA National Electrical Code, Standard No 70 Stock picking The movement of full pallet loads is most readily accomplished with the modern pow ered industrial truck However, many in dustrial operations todav require sequence picking of component parts for final assembly and fabrication With the variety of smaller finished prod ucts manufactured in industrial plants, ship ments are typically made up by truck and/or rail carloads of mixed lots 656 In both operations, such stock is usually found in racks or bins and, with the increase in high bay storage, special order picking equipment is required Such operations lend new efficiency to material handhng as well as new hazards in the areas of traffic, personal injury, and fire protection Thee worker op erating from a mobile order picking truck is exposed to falls from a height, as well as falling objects and material handhng acci dents (See Chapter 22 ) Often, a worker is required to climb a ladder to get small parts or stock Onlv heavy-duty material handling ladders should be used These mav be on rollers, but will have a braking mechanism with rubber feet which contact the surface as the worker's weight is imposed on the ladder A working platform is provided, and standard guardrails protect the worker from falls as he reaches for stock or parts
