Safer Patient Handling
Healthcare providers have been working towards safer patient handling policies since the inception of the Manual Handling Operations Regulations (1992). The Health and Safety Executive has stated that handling heavy or awkward loads, poor work postures, or repetitive movements can result in Muscularskeletal disorders, including back injuries, pain and muscle strain.

Factors to consider
The risk of sustaining injury can be greatly reduced by selecting appropriate moving and handling equipment and by using it effectively. When choosing a mobile hoist, factors such as the environment in which it will be used - particularly space availability, floor surfaces and storage should be considered. In addition, the type of disability, size and required level of independence of the client who will be hoisted, should influence selection. For the carer, physical strength and size may be important factors.
