You are a working as an allied health care professional, and one of your patients has just received the diagnosis of a serious illness.  as the patient is leaving the office, you overhear a conversation between the patient and her son.  the son starts to open the door for his mother, but she lashes out and says “you treat me like i can’t do anything right! just leave me alone! ”  she storms out and leaves her son standing in the doorway.

It starts with commitment. the health and safety policy is the commitment by the employer to provide and maintain a safe workplace. the commitment of the workforce is also a necessary component.when the workplace parties sit down to develop an ergonomic approach to patient handling, they will develop terms of reference that set forth how the health and safety committee will function in approaching this problem and reach its goal of reduced injuries.in general, a safe patient handling program will involve the following steps: management approval and commitment to develop and implement a patient handling program.perform a needs analysis.create and standardize patient assessment criteria.develop decision trees to standardize actions.determine which controls are needed to implement specific tasks or patient needs.institute a "no-lift" policy, where possible.
