Be able to move and handle equipment and objects safely
In this tutorial you will learn:
- Moving and handling is governed by the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 (amended 2002)
- That although the employer has a responsibility to protect its employees, it is not acceptable for an immobile person to be left simply because lifting them is considered risky
- The key message is to make sure you know and understand your own setting’s policy on lifting and moving patients and equipment and that you follow it
