Health Care Industry

Unlike other industries, healthcare workers are constantly faced with the challenge of working with people who come in all shapes, sizes, conditions and abilities.

Health care workers, in particular, face a wide range of on-the-job hazards. Patient handling is one type of activity that can lead to a musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) or aggravate an existing condition.

MSD’s result in reduced productivity, lost time from work, temporary or permanent disability, increased workers compensation costs and an inability to perform assigned jobs.
