The pressure and shearing will interrupt the local blood supply to the skin and also deprive it of nutrients and oxygen if you do the moving and handing correctly also without the adequate supply of nutrients cells in the skin die. Functions of the skin are to disperse pressure but if the high pressure is applied the damage can result and also prolonged periods at the lower pressure also can cause damage. Also with the good moving and positioning techniques to prevent shearing damage while the manoeuvre is being carried out and will also minimise the reactions to prolonged pressure being placed on the vulnerable …show more content…
The main points for manual handling should be avoided as far as reasonably practicable and when unavoidable, and by putting the reduce risk of injury to the possible level. The risk assessment will be the highlight by using the hoists and mechanical lifting devices to reduce the incidence of musculoskeletal injuries in staff.
