Roger that KJ. And roger and the very useful vid support for use. It\’s a great package for mine because it uses relatively straightforward tools to do a basic risk assessment. I think we tend to massively underestimate the background knowledge and skills needed to get a half-way decent risk assessment together. Yep, there a bunch of important risk control principles that have to go along with the package, but for the ordinary punter, dealing with day-to-day risk control decisions I think this material is a pearler. Better we get progress, and wind down the level of risk, vs waiting for HIRAC perfection. The package excels by biting the bullet in order to get some progress.

Col, I think the MH package has promise and I applaud WHSQ for promoting through YouTube.

What I liked about the video is that it provides context to the guidance rather than simply promoting the guide. This recognizes the primacy that some are giving to internet videos.

I think the guide is not as easy as it appears in the video but certainly deserves a couple of practices.

There is also the case that there are some cultural issues that work against acknowledging manual handling as a hazard that can be prevented. We still try to gauge the weight of something by lifting first instead of having the default setting in our brains and management systems as \”no lift\”. If it can happen in nursing, it can happen in other industries.
