Patient moving and handling equipment.
Prof Nurse. 1997 Jun; 12(9):660-2, 665-6.PN

Abstract

Current regulations recommend that manual lifting should be avoided whenever possible. An ergonomic approach, based on full risk assessment and the use of moving and handling aids, will significantly reduce the risk of back strain and musculoskeletal injury. Ongoing training is required on manual handling techniques and equipment.
