manual handling injury claim

http://www.thompsons.law.co.uk/personal-injury/southern-cross-pays-compensation-injured-carer.htm

This story illustrates how important is is to have the right equipment for the job and have received proper training in its use. The carer in question had worked for 12 years and had 4 months off work with a disc problem after turning a patient on the bed without the correct equipment. The claim was settled out of court when the employer admitted liability but the carer was not able to return to her former duties and is not currently working as a carer.

This emphasises the importance of correct training.
