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 😞 At Community Therapy we are passionate about ensuring safe Manual Handling techniques, and we offer Online, Face to Face and Hybrid training for Healthcare, Aged Care and NDIS workers and organisations! 🤓 Join over 20,000 NDIS & Aged Care Support Workers across Australia who have jumped onboard our online Manual Handling training! 👉🏼 #NDIS #AgedCare #ManualHandling #SupportWorkers #Wheelchair
