I know I'm from Australia but........ Do other countries/states not use some kind of risk management system when it comes to transferring clients from place to place?
I work in Queensland, Australia and we use a system called "The No Lift Risk Management System"
It involves the use of slide sheets, PAT slides, mechanical hoists, piviot bords etc. so we NEVER actually do any lifting. I'm 6'2" so am VERY carefull with my back(it has to last me a few more years!) and this system is magic. If anyone is interested I'd be glad to send out a book... Any thing to save our backs and lessen the number of lawsuits...
Would be very interested to hear about other lifting policies.
