Most UK hospitals now have manual handling policies, but few studies have assessed their impact. To facilitate such research, a system for ranking the investment in manual handling risk controls was devised and applied to 109 acute hospitals in the UK. High scoring hospitals performed well on all aspects of manual handling risk management. Low scoring hospitals had a manual handling policy and recorded accidents and sickness absence, but had limited resource for expert manpower and equipment.
英国大多数医院现在都有手动搬运政策，但很少有研究评估其影响。为便于开展此类研究，设计了一种手动搬运风险控制投资排名系统，并应用于英国109家急症医院。得分高的医院在手动搬运风险管理的各个方面表现良好。得分低的医院有手动搬运政策，并记录了事故和病假情况，但专家人力和设备资源有限。
