One UK legislation says handling-technique-focused training does not promote safety or reduce injuries to service users and care workers. The same legislation seeks a different approach to this regulated activity.
This manual focuses on different approaches that re-appraise the duty of care principle to help care workers, carers and others in domiciliary, care homes and clinical environments. This book achieves this reappraisal by letting readers know how to: * apply holistic care* comply with the laws on moving objects and people
* collaborate with stakeholders like workers, care organisations, trainers, local authorities
and occupational therapists.
* understand workplace injuries, including musculoskeletal disorders and back care.
* have professional approaches and best practices
* adhere to aids and equipment guides such as hoists.
* avoid safeguarding concerns
* undertake risk assessments
* apply care training techniques As a second edition, the changes for the first, amongst others, include:
