IE- Guidance on the Management of Manual Handling in Healthcare
This guide provides practical information on managing the risk of injury from manual handling activities in the healthcare sector. The objective of providing such information is to ensure that manual handling work activities are reviewed, that hazards are identified, risks assessed and protective measures put in place to eliminate or reduce the risk of injury. The guide focuses on the hospital and ward environment but its principles can be applied to other work
environments in healthcare. Checklists of some of the key controls at generic or task level that should be in place at department level are included.
