How to fill sandbags, from US Army Corps of Engineers Northwestern Division
Sandbags: u a steadfast tool for flood fighting and bagging is one of the most versatile of flood fighting tools and is a simple, effective way to prevent or reduce flood water damage. Although sandbags do not guarantee a watertight seal, they are a proven deterrent to costly water damage. Sandbags have been used to: prevent overtopping of levees. direct a river's current flow to specific areas. construct ring dikes around boils on levee back slopes, levee toes or behind levees. use as weight on back slopes of saturated levees. weigh down visquine and straw bales. build buttresses on back slopes and the toes of saturated levees. reduce seepage at closure structures. Read this brochure to learn proper filling and placement methods aimed at increasing productivity of sandbagging operations. Included are hints, safety tips and correct procedures which will minimize work-related injuries and strain and will maximize essential time.
Safety First
Tip#l: Use proper lifting techniques to avoid injury and fatigue. Lift with your legs and bend at the knees to save your back.
Tip #2: Sandbags are treated to prevent deterioration when stored. Use work gloves and avoid contact with your eyes and mouth.
Tip #3: Stay in eye contact with heavy equipment operators and keep alert for truck backup alarms.
Tip#4: Flood waters can be polluted. Use rubber gloves and appropriate clothing if contact with water is unavoidable.
Tip#5: Wear adequate clothing in layers and watertight boots. Reflective material on outer clothing is essential for night work.
Tip#6: Rotate team members frequently to avoid fatigue. Starting at the top, going clockwise: Watch for trucks and other heavy equipment frequently at flood sites; boots, clothing and other items are necessary for flood fighting; and heavy gloves are protection from treated burlap bags.
