Safe Lifting in Healthcare Environments: for Medical Personnel Safety Training Video

This safety video program on Safe Lifting in Healthcare Environments: for Medical Personnel provides the information employees need to protect their backs when they are lifting and carrying.

We've all experienced back pain at one time or another, and it probably resulted from lifting something incorrectly. Maybe the load was too big or too heavy, or we lifted from an awkward position. But if you want to avoid injuries, you need to make sure that you use your back the right way.

Areas covered in the program include:

• the mechanics of safe lifting in a healthcare facility,
• how to listen to your back,
• types of back injuries,
• preparing to lift something in a way that protects your back,
• how to keep your back safe when you’re lifting below the waist,
• the right way to lift and carry patients, and more.

The safety video program comes with a quiz, a scheduling and attendance form, a training certificate, and an employee training log.
