Manual Handling Plans

Our occupational therapists develop manual handling plans to ensure safe and effective lifting, transferring, and movement of individuals. These plans protect both the person being supported and their carers, reducing the risk of injury and strain.

We also provide hands-on training for support workers, family members, and healthcare staff to build confidence and competence in manual handling.

What a Manual Handling Plan Includes
  • Education on safe body mechanics and lifting techniques
  • Guidance on using assistive equipment like hoists, slide sheets, transfer boards
  • Strategies to minimise physical strain and fatigue
  • Tailored advice for each individual’s needs and environment
