title: Occupational health: developing safe handling policies.
abstract: This article is based on a paper given by the author at the Royal College of Nursing's Congress in April 1992, and is the first John Goodland Memorial Lecture. It examines the need for safe handling policies, and highlights the essential components of any new policy. With legislative changes due to come into force on December 31 1992, managers and staff are urged to be aware of the impact of safe handling training and how it can affect care delivery.
