Safe moving and handling

Drawing on years of experience in occupational therapy and extensive education expertise we ensure your care staff are using safe, evidence based techniques in moving and handling

Manual handling is defined as 'any activity that includes lifting or putting down,pulling or pushing, carrying, supporting an object or person using the hand or any part of the body'. Nowhere is safe and correct manual handling more important than in the care industry.
