FAQs
It is important to refrain from routinely manually lifting patients. Instead, hoists, sliding aids, electric profiling beds, and other specialised equipment should be used as substitutes for manual lifting. Manual patient handling should be limited to cases that do not involve lifting most or all of a patient's weight.
When considering a task, take into account the load, working environment, and individual capability. This includes the postures adopted and the distance the load is lifted, lowered, or carried.
Remember to avoid bending over, stooping, or twisting for extended periods. If you are assisting a patient with tasks like bathing, dressing, and eating, try to maintain a level position to prevent putting extra strain on your back.
