Employers play a critical role in injury prevention by:
- Providing Adequate Staffing: Ensure sufficient nurse-to-patient ratios to reduce overexertion. - Regular Training: Offer ongoing training on safe practices and injury prevention. - Ergonomic Assessments: Conduct regular ergonomic assessments and make necessary adjustments to workstations. - Supportive Policies: Implement policies that encourage reporting of injuries and near-misses without fear of retaliation.
