Safety guidelines: Preventing staff and resident injuries
You can protect your residents and your staff with this excellent safety guideline lesson plan. Fun exercises help staff identify and correct safety hazards in your facility and become familiar with safety problems of the elderly. Clear instruction and demonstration teaches your staff how to prevent common accidents and injuries in your facility, such as falls and back injuries that result from improper lifting techniques. Since not all accidents can be prevented, we’ve included vital reporting and documentation instruction to properly respond to such incidents.
