Folding and moving a wheelchair is a common manual handling risk for NDIS and Aged Care workers and carers 👩🦽
However, this risk can be minimised by following 3 key steps 👇🏽
1️⃣ Get down to a low height to collapse the foot plates
2️⃣ Pull up at the seat to collapse the wheelchair
3️⃣ Get close and take a wide stance to pick up the wheelchair, keeping it close to your body
⚠️ Across Australia, healthcare workers are at a significant high risk of sustaining workplace injuries as a result of lifting, twisting and handling objects or equipment 😞
