Safe Patient Handling Program
Description
Hospitals have high rates of non-fatal occupational injuries and illnesses. Nearly 50 percent of injuries and illnesses reported in 2011 among nurses and nursing support staff were musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs).
Your hospital can address the biggest cause of workplace injuries with a comprehensive program to promote safe lifting, repositioning, and transfer of patients.
This course will help you develop or refine a safe patient handling program to protect workers and patients.
OSHAcademy is accredited by the International Accreditors for Continuing Education and Training (IACET) and offers IACET CEUs for courses that meet ANSI/IACET standards. IACET is globally recognized for promoting the quality of continuing education and training.
