SOLVED1148
Alice, is an aged care resident who requires assistance with getting in and out of bed. Alice is a large and heavy person, and the care team has identified her as requiring two staff members to assist with transfers. One morning, a staff member named Sarah assists Alice with getting out of bed. As they transfer Alice from the bed to her wheelchair, Sarah feels a sharp pain in her shoulder. She cannot continue with the transfer, and Alice falls back onto the bed. Sarah has experienced a manual handling incident that caused a shoulder injury. This type of injury is common in aged care, particularly when staff members are required to perform manual handling tasks like lifting and transferring residents. Conduct a risk assessment to identify three (3) manual tasks required in caring for Alice and assess the level of risk associated with each risk. Determine what safe work procedures, monitoring and support, equipment, and training could be provided to manage the risks. Consider how Sarah’s incident and manual handling hazards can be reported according to organisational policies.
