Moving and Handling

The Corporate Health and Safety Manual Handling Team offer training courses at varying levels for both Clinical and Non Clinical staff. One of the highest causes of staff related absences is musculoskeletal injury, it is therefore important that all staff receive manual handling training to help minimise the risk of injury. The aim is to teach the safest and least harmful way to move and handle patients and/or objects.
