HLTWHS002 Follow safe work practices for direct client care
(Manual Handling and Infection control)
Course Overview
NTA’s nationally recognised Manual Handling course equips care staff to handle people and equipment safely, reducing musculoskeletal injury risk while protecting resident/client dignity. This unit of competency provides the skills and knowledge required for a worker to participate in safe work practices to ensure their own health and safety, and that of others in work environments that involve caring directly for clients.
