Safe Patient Handling Programs

Safe Patient Handling Programs are initiatives designed to minimize the risk of injury to healthcare workers and patients during lifting, moving, or repositioning. These programs promote the use of specialized equipment, such as lifts or slings, and training for healthcare staff on safe techniques. By prioritizing ergonomic practices, these programs aim to enhance safety, reduce strain on workers, and improve patient mobility and comfort. Overall, they create a safer environment in healthcare settings for both patients and staff.
