4 1. POLICY STATEMENT Northamptonshire Teaching Primary Care Trust recognises and accepts its responsibilities and duties as an employer under the Health and at Work Act 1974, to do all that is reasonably practicable to secure the health, safety and welfare of all its employees and to adopt corporate policies and procedures, which set out safe systems of work to ensure compliance with relevant statutory provisions and best practice. This duty extends to the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 (MHOR). Additionally, employees are reminded that they have a responsibility to take reasonable care of themselves and others, and to co-operate with the Trust with regard to the Manual Handling Policy. 2. OVERVIEW OF THE REGULATIONS The Regulations place an explicit duty on employers to avoid the need for manual handling operations and wherever possible mechanical aids and devices are to be used. Where manual handling operations cannot be avoided a suitable and sufficient assessment of the risk must be carried out, to ensure that the risk is reduced to the lowest level possible. The Regulations should be read in conjunction with: LOLER Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1992 PUWER Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 MHSWR Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 HSAWA Health and Safety at Work Act etc. Act 1974 The Guide To The Handling Of Patients 5 th edition, National Back Pain Association/Royal College of Nursing DEFINITIONS Manual Handling Operations means any transporting or supporting of a load either directly or indirectly (including the lifting, putting down, pushing, pulling, carrying or moving thereof) by hand or bodily force. A load means a discrete moveable object. This includes a patient receiving medical attention, items of equipment, files/records, trolleys wheelchairs etc. 4. HIERARCHY OF MEASURES The Regulations establishes a clear hierarchy of measures: Avoid hazardous manual handling operations so far as is reasonably practicable Assess any hazardous manual handling operations that cannot be avoided Reduce the risk of injury so far as is reasonable practicable. Review any assessment if there is reason to suspect that it is no longer valid, if there has been change in the manual handling operations or an injury has occurred. 4
5 5. RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE PROVISION Managers have a responsibility to: - Identify manual handling risks and ensure that suitable and sufficient risk assessments are carried out for all manual handling operations where a risk has been identified. The risk assessment must be reviewed regularly or when change occurs. Ensure staff avoid the need for hazardous manual handling operations and use mechanical aids where necessary Ensure that all staff attend manual handling training in accordance with Trust Policy. A record must be kept of any staff training undertaken (see section 7 Training) Ensure any manual handling equipment is in a good state of repair and maintained in accordance with the manufacturers instructions and LOLER Regs Ensure that all accidents/incidents regarding manual handling operations are reported, investigated and appropriate remedial action taken. Ensure when any equipment faults are reported, the equipment is taken out of service and appropriate notification is undertaken. Employees have a responsibility to: - Take reasonable care for their own health and safety and that of others who may be affected by their activities Co-operate with their manager to enable them to comply with their health and safety duties. Attend training when directed Make use of appropriate equipment provided, in accordance with their training and the instructions the Trust has given them. Follow appropriate systems of work laid down by the Trust to promote safety during the handling of loads 6. RISK ASSESSMENT An assessment will be carried out prior to all manual handling tasks where the manoeuvre is such as to carry a risk of injury, as required by the MHOR Regs. To assist in the risk assessment process the following forms have been made available for your use. Manual Handling of Loads Risk Assessment Appendix 1 Guide to use the Risk Assessment Form Appendix 2 Risk Consequence Table guidance Appendix 2a People Moving & Handling Risk Assessment Appendix 3 Information for Risk Assessment Appendix 4 These must be used and completed for all manual-handling tasks that are not considered simple and obvious. 5
6 7. TRAINING The Trust has made provision for all staff to receive manual handling training. This is mandatory and all staff will attend. It is the responsibility of the line manager to ensure that all staff are released from the workplace to attend initial and refresher training within the prescribed time frame and to ensure that bank and agency staff are suitably trained in all aspects of manual handling prior to commencement of duties. The training provision is as follows: Clinical staff involved in patient moving and handling Initial 1-day people handling and safe use of mobile hoist foundation course plus annual 1-day refresher Portering, Hotel Services, Logistics and Estates staff 3 hour inanimate load handling training plus bi-annual refresher. Any further training, where required, following a risk assessment. All other staff 3 hour inanimate load handling training plus 3 yearly refresher 7.1 Monitoring Attendance and Non- Attendance on Manual Handling Monitoring of attendance at manual and Handling will be centrally recorded within the Training Dept and reported to the Governance Committee. The Line Managers will be notified of any of their staff who fail to attend. 8. EQUIPMENT PURCHASE, MAINTENANCE AND TESTING The purchase of manual handling equipment will be following an assessment of need. Following purchase all lifting equipment must be maintained as required by the manufacturers instructions and as required by LOLER Regs. Suitable and sufficient training must be provided prior to the use of new equipment. 9. REPORTING MANUAL HANDLING ACCIDENTS/INCIDENTS All accidents, injuries or near misses are to be reported using the Trust s standard Trust incident report form and sent to the Risk Manager. 10. HEALTH SURVEILLANCE AND REHABILITATION Staff reporting an injury, suffering back pain or other symptoms as a result of manual handling should report to their manager for a referral to the Occupational Health Department to: Assess suitability to return to full duties Re-assess the working environment with the designated manager where necessary Establish a suitable rehabilitation programme and reinforce the principles of good back care where necessary. 6
7 11. STAFFING LEVELS No employee should be expected to manually handle patients or other loads in circumstances likely to cause injury. Staffing levels will be such as to facilitate safe handling and to enable a reasonable distribution of such tasks throughout the work period. Guidance levels of these numbers should come from risk assessment. Staff levels insufficient to meet this criterion should be officially reported to management and action taken. 12. MONITORING EFFECTIVENESS A robust system for the monitoring of implementation and effectiveness of Manual Handling training is carried out by the Training Department. This enables the PCT to ensure that the training remains current and relevant, in order to ensure that all staff are supported and protected with regard to Manual Handling. Actions identified as a result of monitoring will be implemented through the development of action plans. The results of the monitoring process are reported to the Governance Committee on a quarterly basis. 13.

10 Appendix 2 GUIDE TO USE THE RISK ASSESSMENT FORM 1. Write down the step-by-step details of the task for which the assessment applies e.g. moving equipment. 2. Identify the staff that are likely to be involved in the task. 3. Assessment of Risk consider the headings Task, Individual Capability, Load, Environment. Tick the appropriate box that that reflects most accurately what is involved in the manual handling task. 4. Record the estimated number of times that the task takes place during one working shift. The frequency of task may identify that the need for additional control measures e.g. more appropriate equipment required. Make reference to the number of staff involved. 5. Taking into account the assessment of risk in step (3) list the risks identified. 6. Document the Risk Rating Score; this will determine the urgency in which controls measures need to be put in place. 7. List control measures put in place e.g. staff training, written information, protocols. List any equipment in use. 8. Additional actions to control risk should be documented in the action plan with an expected completion date. Once the actions have been completed, re-evaluate the Risk Rating Score. EVALUATION OF RISK In order to effectively and accurately evaluate the level of risk, the risk owner should multiply the consequences by the likelihood (e.g. possible likelihood (3) and moderate consequences (3) give a risk rating of 9 which falls into the amber category as a significant risk. The table below illustrates how to determine the grading of risks and should be used in conjunction with the Risk Consequence Table and the Risk Likelihood Table. Risk Likelihood Table - Guidance Descriptor Rare Unlikely Possible Likely Almost Frequency Probability Not expected to occur for years Expected to occur at least annually Expected to occur at least monthly Expected to occur at least weekly Expected to occur at least daily < 1% 1-5% 6-29% 21-50% >50% Will only occur in exceptional circumstances Unlikely to occur Reasonable chance of occurring Likely to occur More likely to occur than not Risk Grading Matrix LIKELIHOOD ALMOST CERTAIN 5 INSIGNIFICANT 1 5 (Yellow) MINOR 2 10 (Amber) CONSEQUENCE MODERATE 3 15 (Red) MAJOR 4 20 (Red) CATASTROPHIC 5 25 (Red) LIKELY 4 4 (Yellow) 8 (Amber) 12 (Amber) 16 (Red) 20 (Red) POSSIBLE 3 3 (Green) 6 (Yellow 9 (Amber) 12 (Amber) 15 (Red) UNLIKELY 2 2 (Green) 4 (Yellow) 6 (Yellow) 8 (Amber) 10 (Amber) RARE 1 1 (Green) 2 (Green) 3 (Green) 4 (Yellow) 5 (Amber) ACTUAL RISK OUTCOME 10

15 Guidance on completing people moving and handling risk assessments and action plans. An assessment form and action plan must be completed when staff are required to move or handle a person. This should be completed within 24hrs in a hospital setting or by the next visit in a community setting. The admitting member of staff is responsible for completing the risk assessment. If there is more than one professional involved in the patient s care, then one person will take responsibility for its completion. Only one assessment and action plan per patient is required at any one time. All staff must understand how to read the assessment and all staff must follow the safe system of work laid down in the action plan. (95% of staff expected to perform the task should be able to do so) All staff must check the action plan prior to implementing a manoeuvre. Should the patient s condition at the time necessitate a change to the system of work indicated then this should be documented. If the patient s condition changes significantly, then a new assessment and action plan must be drawn up. HISTORY OF FALLS? If yes a safe method of removal from the floor must be documented. Complete a falls assessment 1. EQUIPMENT USED (Remember equipment used in a patient s home may differentiate to NHS equipment, which may increase potential risk factor e.g. Oxford hoist at home, Arjo in hospital). Is it in good condition, and maintained regularly? Is it suitable for the purpose it is needed? Is it the correct size for the patient? Have the patient and carers been trained in the use of the equipment? 2. ENVIRONMENTAL RISK FACTORS Complete the environmental risk factor form if risk identified If you not able to move furniture away from the working area, posture may be compromised. The floor surface, door threshold may restrict the movement of equipment e.g. hoist. Are bed lights working? Will furniture need raising? 3. STAFF RESPONSIBILITIES The manoeuvres required must be within 95% of all the staffs capabilities. In the event of a member of staff being unable to perform a specific task i.e. health problems, pregnancy etc., a personal risk assessment needs to be carried out. 4. BED TYPE A non-variable height bed will compromise working posture. A moving surface e.g. pressure mattress will make the task more difficult. Will the patient be able to get in/out of bed if a pressure mattress is used? A double bed will make some tasks unachievable. SPECIAL COMMENTS/INSTRUCTIONS Does the patient have variable abilities e.g. post seizure, day/night requirements If yes this must be reflected on the action plan. Two action plans may be required. 5. PAIN May be increased by certain handling techniques or use of equipment 6. SKIN The slightest friction may damage the skin Lesions special equipment may be required e.g. padded sling 7. EQUIPMENT/INFUSION Any external lines into the body will make movement more difficult. 8. COMMUNICATION/COMPREHENSION PROBLEMS Does the patient understand the task about to be undertaken 9. BEHAVIOUR Will the patient resist the move? 10. PHYSICAL PROBLEMS Any physical problem will make movement more difficult FUNCTIONAL CAPABILITIES Normal capabilities required when patients mobility is expected to improve. 15
