Moving and handling refers to the techniques used to lift, push, pull, or carry objects safely without causing injury to oneself or others. Healthcare workers, in particular, need to be aware of proper lifting and transferring methods when handling patients.
Poor techniques can result in back pain, sprains, and strains, causing long-term harm. To avoid injury, it is essential to follow proper lifting guidelines, including assessing the weight and shape of objects, using the correct equipment, and seeking help when required.
Training and practicing safe lifting and handling techniques can reduce the risk of injury and improve workplace safety.
