PATIENT HANDLING MANIKIN

A versatile lifting manikin for all Health & Safety training within the Health Care and Care Home sectors, including early mobilisation, emergency evacuation and working with lifting/transfer/evacuation equipment and general moving and handling exercises. It is the perfect manikin to use during hospital emergency evacuation drills or for planning emergency evacuation in your care home.

Health and Social Care workers are statistically more at risk of lifting and handling injuries at work than those in other sectors. Help your staff avoid the risks identified in the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 (Health and Safety at Work Act 1974) - train them to avoid the back injuries associated with unsafe, high-risk moves by training with these realistic ‘patients’.
