a. Provide an example of a manual handling risk which you may encounter while working with a client. One manual handling risk you may encounter while working with the client is physically supporting clients who have mobility problems. Repetitive force from helping clients move throughout the day or sudden force from a client falling can pose a risk of sustaining an injury.
b. Assess the risk using the risk matrix
Using the risk matrix, the likelihood of sustaining an injury from repetitive force or sudden force is between likely and very likely. It is very likely that you can sustain A minor
injury Such as a strain in your back but in the worst-case scenario it is very likely you may injure your back from the sudden force or break a bone.
c. Describe how you can control the risk
After identifying the risk you can control the risk by stretching or training to strengthen your body to prepare you for the tasks or you can find ways to eliminate or substitute it throughout the day. 9.

13. Legal and ethical requirements are required to be upheld by the AHA to provide a code of
conduct that attempts to maintain a high standard of professionalism, safety and ethics to all those individuals seeking treatment and assistance from a health professional.
Define the following in terms of providing care as an AHA:
a) Privacy
The Privacy Act 1988 provides protection for clients, regulating how health organisations collect and handle their clients personal and health information. As an allied health professional, it is important that you maintain the privacy of your clients according to the Privacy Act and your organisations policies and procedures. b) Confidentiality
This means collecting only the required information to perform the service, allowing the client to choose how the information they shared is used, storing information securely, and not sharing information without the clients consent.
c) Disclosure
Disclosure is a process healthcare professionals communicate with patients, their carers, and families when a patient has experienced harm during their health care. It is important to inform patients when healthcare does not go to plan and an injury or harm occurs. If harm or injury occurs, follow your organisations procedures when managing incidents; provide apologies and an explanation of what happened and the consequences
for the patient and give an opportunity for the patient to relay their experience and explanation of what steps can be followed so the same thing doesn't occur again.
d) Duty of Care
As an allied health professional, it is an obligation to provide appropriate care to meet your clients’ needs and to ensure they are not exposed to unnecessary risk. The methods and interventions you use in standard care are required to meet your duty of care and can vary from client to client. It is expected to only take action within your boundaries in the healthcare system that is appropriate by the average person in your position and with
your skill level. Failing to do this can be seen as negligence, whether any harm has been caused or not
