We are delighted to share how we worked with Medriest in bettering their health and safety capabilities. This case study outlines the progressive changes integrated into their business. Our aim was to reduce the number of incidents in the Medirest workplace and improving staff output. Medirest is the UK's leading healthcare support service brands, working in more than 50 acute hospitals and medical treatment centres.
The Challenge
Manual handling incidents are the highest recorded Health and Safety occurrences in the business and are on the increase. Medirest needed to identify a training solution that would help their employees fully understand the principles and practices of correct lifting.
As the company’s external training provider, Astutis were approached to offer advice regarding the best training solutions for their teams. A bespoke presentation tailored to support the organisation's services was required and Astutis discussed the BTEC level 3 Manual Handling Trainers course. With some additions, this would provide a solution that met the client's criteria, and is also endorsed by RoSPA.
Training Solution
The course allows the learner to put theory into practice by applying efficient movement principles to routine loads, non-routine loads, pushing, pulling and team handling. Learners are expected to correct their shortfalls relating to their practice.
In addition to the practical element, learners are taught how to conduct a pre-transfer assessment or dynamic risk assessment. The learner will have adequate time to practice manual handling and gain experience in training others.
Implementing this system of training allows an individual trainee to be instructed using equipment similar to their job and instruction in the following services:
