Keeping safe whilst you volunteer at Acorns children's hospice
We all have a legal responsibility to keep ourselves and others around us safe at work.
We do that by following procedures which are underpinned by legislation. We should follow any training given and assess and risks involved in the tasks we are going to perform. These principles apply to lifting, handling and moving an object that has a degree of risk, whether it’s a large heavy box on the floor or a jar of coffee from a high shelf.
Volunteers at Acorns should not lift and handle children in our care. As such, this training module you are about to complete relates to the handling of inanimate objects and not people.
