Each home and care recipient is unique. Yet most Manual Handling Training Programs are one-size-fits all. Your care teams require training that is fit for purpose based on your clients needs. The Lift Less Manual Handling Program ensures the safety of everyone under your care by providing training that is targeted and relevant for consumers wanting to remain at home.
Manual Handling Training is often offered as a do-it-once, compliance exercise. Many training organisations offer generic programs based on generic care scenarios. Community Care is anything but generic. It requires a specialised, customised approach that teaches best practices in Safely Moving People, within their home, while ensuring caregiver safety.
Does your current manual handling training provider offer:
If you answered no to one or more of these, then your current manual handling program could be falling short.
Manual Handling Training is often completed as a required compliance task. But this approach falls short when you consider the outcomes we are working towards. While you may have all the boxes ticked, your caregivers may not have all the skills they need to remain safe whilst at work. This exposes you to risk. Lift Less Solutions competency training is focused on outcomes that reduce injuries, reduce costs, reduces workforce absenteeism and improves workplace stress.
Lift Less integrates the O’Shea NoLift System into all of our training. Your carers will receive a comprehensive theoretical and practical learning experience, tailored to the Community Care setting.
It covers procedures to safely transfer people On-Bed as well as all transfers Off-Bed. It includes the use of slide sheets, mechanical assistive devices, high-low beds and other adaptive aids that remove the risk to your carers.
Our Community Manual Handling Training and assessments are tailored to the unique demands of delivering care in multiple home environments. Care needs are often complex, so the challenge for all providers is to assist their carers to meet that complexity. Our Lift Less Manual Handling System provides compliance, specialised hands-on training that will equip your care team with skills they need to Empower a Safe Care Partnership. We will prepare them for real world scenarios while meeting the New Aged Care Standards.
Is a bespoke, Manual Handling Solution for community care providers who are concerned about the increasing care needs seen in this sector. It is designed to complement a strategic Work Health & Safety initiative of Injury Prevention and better workplace design.
All of the training is in person, often workshop style, and delivers the perfect balance of theoretical understanding and practical skills so that your team is ready for the ever increasing care needs evolving in the Community Care sector.
A Lift Less Functional Capacity Assessment is not a one-size-fits-all solution. It is a nuanced and personalised evaluation that transcends the usual Allied Health Assessment and provides deeper insight into the appropriate management of the care recipient. This is an ideal solution for a complex manual handling scenario in your facility that has not been solved, which sometimes requires a fresh set of eyes to reach an effective outcome. The assessment document we provide will provide a clinical road map for your ongoing care.
