Handle with care.
Abstract
25% of all midwives have taken sick leave because of back injury. The onus is on the employer to see that employees are not made to undertake risky manual handling work. The place of confinement should be checked beforehand for suitability and safety. Temporary staff are covered by the risk assessment process, but independent midwives are not.
