Why is Safe Manual Handling Training Vital for Social Care Staff?
Moving and handling individuals and equipment is a regular part of work in the care
sector, but it can put health and social care workers at risk of injury. To manage that risk successfully, employers must provide effective training for anyone whose role includes moving and handling.
Our online Moving and Handling course offers an easy, effective and efficient way to provide this vital training for social care staff.
What Risks are Associated with Manual Handling in the Care Sector?
Care sector employers need to accurately identify hazards and activities that may increase risks for their staff. These activities could include bathing individuals with specific needs or assisting with in-person transfers.
Some staff may have to hold awkward postures during their work, which can cause physical stress and strain.
Manual handling equipment such as hoists and wheelchairs may help with safe moving and handling. Use them safely to avoid further increasing risks.
What are the Requirements for Safe Moving and Handling Training?
Manual handling regulations form part of the CQC (Care Quality Commission) mandatory training requirements for health and social care workers. They include education in anatomy and physiology as well as moving and handling equipment in care homes safely.
Care workers need to understand the policies, procedures and legislation concerning moving and positioning those in their care. They should also know how to minimise risk and when to ask for assistance and advice to help them move individuals or equipment safely.
CQC also recommends conducting refresher training and assessment at least once per year. Additional training is also required when new risks are introduced, potentially from new equipment or processes.
Finally, care providers must have a clear statement of policy. This policy should cover critical elements such as a statement of roles and responsibilities, recognition of the existing risks and arrangements for manual handling courses and compliance monitoring.
