The Showering and Dressing Weight Bearing Client Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) is designed to assist in implementing safe and efficient processes for showering and dressing clients who can bear weight. It outlines essential steps for safety in client care.
It identifies the hazards of working with people, sets out precautions and safe client handling principles, and gives a pre-start checklist that includes maintaining privacy.
It then gives the step-by-step process for showering and dressing a weight-bearing client, the actions to take after the procedure, and a register for tracking worker training and induction.
