Description
A physically and psychologically safe staff is essential to providing high-quality care that meets the needs of patients. We have utilized a human factors and ergonomics approach to reduce the high incidence of injuries to our staff related to slips/trips/falls or struck by injuries from equipment throughout the basement. Through the implementation of a variety of initiatives our goal was to reduce struck by and slip, trip, and fall incidents by 10% each year.
