Your Spine Training Summary:

Keeping your spine safe with correct manual handling techniques will save you a lot of pain and suffering. Your spine is a very complex system of bones and it houses your spinal cord where all the messages are sent to your body from your brain. Linked to this are all the soft tissues and muscles that are easily damaged. If a person damages his back in an accident, you should not move the patient, and immediately activate the emergency medical services on 999 or 112.

This course covers general manual handling recommendations laid down by the HSE Manual Handling Regulations 1992, but you MUST check your workplace protocols and practices. Every business conducts its own risk assessments. If in doubt, ask your manager/employer to find out what the exact rules are in your place of work.
