Summary
What do you need to do next?
Always remember to apply the safe handling techniques when you are lifting a load within the pharmacy and encourage other members of the team to do the same. If you are unsure if you are lifting safely ask your manager to demonstrate the correct technique to you or provide feedback on the way you currently lift items.
Practice does make perfect with manual handling and the more that you apply the safe lifting process the more it will become second nature when you are tasked with lifting any item at both work or home.
It is your responsibility to highlight to your manager if you are concerned about any specific lifting task. Remember, an injury from manual handling can last a lifetime so be aware of the risks, think before you start and take care every time.
