Course Description

The unit HLTWHS005 – Conduct Manual Tasks Safely (Personal Care Workers) – equips personal care workers with the essential skills and knowledge to perform manual tasks safely, minimising the risk of injury to themselves and the clients they support. 

 

In many workplaces, daily activities involve manual handling, and in the health and community sectors, these tasks often include assisting patients or clients. These tasks can pose risks, making it essential to learn safe practices to avoid injury to yourself and others. Without proper training, employees are more likely to make mistakes that can result in serious harm, especially when handling hazardous situations.

 

This unit is crucial for personal care workers in aged care, disability services, healthcare, and community care, where manual handling is a routine part of providing care.

 

This course is specifically designed for individuals working in the health and community sectors who may need to perform manual handling tasks involving patients or clients. The training will provide you with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to identify potentially hazardous manual tasks, recognise sources of risk, and apply controls to perform tasks safely.

 

You will learn about body mechanics, posture and positioning, the use of mechanical aids commonly used in the health and community sectors and how to identify and report symptoms of injury.

 

This course aligns with Commonwealth and State/Territory legislation, Australian/New Zealand standards, and industry codes of practice, such as the Hazardous Manual Tasks Code of Practice.
