Prevention of injuries involves a multifaceted approach. Proper training on how to use assistive devices for lifting and transferring patients is crucial. Learning and practicing good body mechanics can also help reduce the risk of back injuries. Creating a safe work environment by ensuring floors are dry and free of clutter can prevent slips and falls. Regular breaks and proper sleep can reduce fatigue, thereby minimizing the risk of accidents. Lastly, using appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) can protect against exposure to infectious diseases.
