Risk Management & Moving Handling People

Identifying hazards and assessing risk to develop a safe handling strategy in a handling situation is one example of risk management. Key to organisational safety for both client and carer is an effective risk management team and structure; the importance of the moving and handling service as part of this structure will be considered with regard to external assessment against national standards.
