Moving & Handling Education • Training – Induction, skills updates and coaching • E-Learning – Load and people handling modules – Aimed at new starts in jobs with lower MH risks • HR Connect / Staff. Net – Guidance on MH handling, user guides & safety briefings – Bariatric guidance & equipment – Order details for slings and sliding sheets
Moving & Handling Assessments • Competency assessments – For staff in jobs with higher MH risk – To allow support to be provided where its needed most • Self Assessments – For all staff – Can be used as part of PDP/KSF review • Information on HR Connect
Today – MH Learning Outcomes At the end of this session, delegates will be able to : Ø Demonstrate an understanding of legislation relating to manual handling Ø Understand the risks associated with manual handling activities Ø Describe the differences between efficient and inefficient movement patterns Ø Describe a pattern of efficient personal movement Ø Identify efficient and inefficient movement patterns as they are applied to manual handling tasks
Overview • Legislation • Movement • Handling scenarios
What is Moving & Handling? The Manual Handling Operations Regulations(1992) define it as: “any transporting or supporting of a load (includes the lifting, putting down, pushing, pulling, carrying or moving thereof ) by hand or by bodily force”. In other words: • Lifting up a load or putting it down • Holding or supporting a load • Pushing or pulling a load • Carrying a load
Legal Duties Employers Employees • Avoid • Follow system of work • Assess & plan • Reduce • Use equipment / training • Review • Report any problems
Risk Assessment Considerations Framework – TILEO T ask - does it need to be done, do you need equipment to help? - is the task repetitive or sustained? - How far do you have to go, does everyone know what to do? I ndividual - how familiar are you with the equipment / task? - are you fit for the task? L oad - how heavy / stable / awkward is the load, do you need help? E nvironment - is there enough room, what is the lighting / flooring like? - is the weather a factor? O ther - do I have the right clothing? - are there any psychological factors to consider?
Overview • Legislation • Movement • Handling scenarios
Inefficient vs. efficient movement
Efficient Movement Pattern Ø Get close Ø Get in on an angle Ø Relax your knees Ø Off set your feet Ø Elevate, relax and allow movement of your spine Ø Take an indirect hold Ø Lead with the head
Overview • Legislation • Movement • Handling scenario 1
Identify the problems
Over stretching Tension Top Heavy Locked Knees
Solutions Raise bed height Get Help Up right Keep Close Soft Knees
Overview • Legislation • Movement • Handling scenario 2
Identify the problems
Top Heavy Increased Tension Spine Rotated Locked Knees Unbalanced, weight all on heels
Solutions Raise Height Change Angle Weight even over both feet
Overview • Legislation • Movement • Handling scenario 3
Identify the problems
Excessive effort causing tension Lifting Patient Weight Spine Rotated Sliding sheets do not go under patient’s heels causing shearing force.
Solution Less effort through arms Sliding rather than lifting patient weight Angle of approach to eliminate torsion of spine Increase height of bed Sliding sheets now under patient’s heels reducing shearing forces
Overview • Legislation • Movement • Handling scenario 4
Identify the problems
Boxes unsteady Top Heavy posture Excessive effort through arms to push Far away from load Cage overfilled Cannot see route ahead
Solution Can see route ahead Reduce weight of cage Closer to load Boxes more stable
Overview • Legislation • Movement • Handling scenario 5
Identify the problems
Monitor too high Tension Stretching to keyboard Clutter Rotated Obstruction No support Feet not stable
Monitor lowered Tension reduced Back supported Keyboard closer Rotation eliminated Obstruction removed Feet supported
