What Role Do Employers Play in Preventing Caregiver Injuries?
Employers have a significant role in creating a safe work environment for caregivers. They should provide comprehensive training programs focused on injury prevention and proper use of equipment. Ensuring adequate staffing levels can also help reduce the physical and mental strain on individual caregivers. Employers should conduct regular safety audits and encourage a culture of safety where caregivers feel comfortable reporting potential hazards without fear of retribution.
