3 Identify healthcare workers who are at risk for musculoskeletal disorders. Describe the key components of a safe resident handling program. State the direct and indirect benefits of reduction of staff and resident injuries through elimination of manual lifting.
4 Not to become injured

8 Include conditions such as: low back pain sciatica rotator cuff injuries epicondylitis carpal tunnel syndrome
9 Nursing aides, orderlies and attendants are listed in the top 10 occupations for work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (2009). The MSD rate for nursing aides, orderlies and nursing attendants is 7 times higher than the average of ALL occupations. American Nurses Association (2004) says that over 52% of nurses complain of chronic back pain.

12 Since 1980 s Proper Body Mechanics Education (Orientation and Annual Mandatory Training) Select use of Hoyer lifts for heavy patients Staff accepts that an aching back is part of the job Early 1990 s Battery operated patient lifts introduced Back Injury Prevention Program- BIPP
13 The average healthcare worker manually lifts 1.8 tons per 8 hour shift. That is equal to lifting one sedan per shift! Zeroliftforny.org/slidebyCathyGillingham
14 In one year, healthcare workers lift the equivalent of an airplane that is at 50% capacity. *Zeroliftforny.com/slidebyCathyGillingham
15 The number of manual lifting injuries to healthcare workers in one year exceeds the number of attendees at a sold-out game in the new Yankee Stadium*. Photo courtesy of *ZeroliftforNY.org
16 Manual Patient Handling Is broadly defined as the transporting or supporting of a patient by hand or bodily force, including: Pushing Pulling Carrying Holding Supporting of the patient or a body part Manual Handling Operations Regulations (MHOR),1992
17 Situations which may cause staff or resident injury: Manual lifting Repositioning Bedpan placement Confined Workspaces Awkward postures Ambulation Lack of Assessment CDC,NIOSH slidebycathygillingham 17
18 People: Are getting larger. Have no handles! Can be unpredictable. Cannot be held close to your body.
19 The amount of weight manually handled by workers in other industries is limited to 50 pounds under IDEAL conditions. (NIOSH Lifting Equation,1993) Resident handling is NOT an ideal condition! Researchers have reported that no caregiver should lift more than 35 pounds of a patient s weight. (Waters T, When is it safe to manually lift a patient, American Journal of Nursing, 107(8), , 2007)
20 Position statement supporting actions and policies that result in elimination of manual patient lifting to promote a safe work environment of care for nurses and patients (ANA, 2003)
21 Illinois Maryland Minnesota New Jersey New York* Ohio* Rhode Island Texas Washington with a resolution from Hawaii*
22 Federal Policy regarding Safe Patient Handling Federal Legislation : H.R and S Nurse and Health Care Worker Protection Act (introduced May 2009) American Nurses Association Handle With Care Campaign
23 Handling Residents Safely Slide created by Cathy Gillingham, North Shore LIJ-SIUH
24 No Manual Lift Policy (non-punitive) Ergonomic Hazard Assessment Investment in Equipment Staff training Care planning for resident handling and movement Review and Evaluation Process
25 Frontline Employers? Residents? workers? WNYCOSH,2010
26 Improved quality of care Improved resident safety More comfortable/secure patient transfers Early mobility efforts enhanced Skin integrity improvement More skilled staff retained at the bedside
27 Safe workplace without a threat of injury Decreased fatigue Increased job satisfaction Not working in pain Sustainability of professional careers Retention of staff Recruitment of staff to the facility ANA, 2004
28 Direct Cost Savings: $ Workers compensation $ Medical treatment costs for musculoskeletal disorders Indirect Cost Savings: $ Lost work days $ Modified duty time $ Investigation time $ Replacement of injured employee $ Education & training $ Liability costs $ Overtime pay ANA, 2004
