July 5, 2024, is National Injury Prevention Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness of preventable injuries. Today, BC Care Providers Association (BCCPA) would like to highlight the importance of preventing injuries in the workplace, particularly for workers in the seniors care sector.
To empower those working in the continuing care sector, our partners at SafeCare BC have many useful injury prevention resources, including:
Musculoskeletal Injury (MSI) prevention
Point of care risk assessment for transfers
Safety Huddle | Point of Care Assessment
Safety Huddle | Safe Handling During Showers
Safe resident and client handling policy
On this National Injury Prevention Day, let’s come together to ensure a safe and healthy workplace for everyone working in the sector who supports and cares for our seniors!
