Some typical tasks related to moving and assisting that you should be able to demonstrate competency in before performing are:

  • Using lifting/moving equipment (e.g. assisted beds, hoists, trucks etc.)
  • Transference of individuals (e.g. from a bed to a chair)
  • Personal care tasks (e.g. toileting, bathing)

When performing these tasks you should always follow your employer’s agreed ways of working.

Attempting to carry out a task that you are not competent in, particularly when it involves moving/assisting another individual can lead to harm or injury to yourself or the individual. It can also lead to disciplinary action or even legal action..
