“ Cost-benefit analyses demonstrate that
the initial investment in lifting equipment
and employee training can be recovered
in two to three years through reductions
in workers’ compensation expenses.”
“ Research has shown that safe resident
lifting programs reduce resident-handling
workers’ compensation injury rates
by 61%, lost workday injury rates by
66%, restricted workdays by 38%,
and the number of workers suffering
from repeat injuries.”
