Tiivistelmä
Lifting and handling of patients, repeated back bending and twisted postures endanger nurses' health. Patient manual handling, constant standing, walking, hurrying and psychosocial factors of the job worsen the load, which forces healthcare staff into early retirement. This management model for physical risks offers a resolution to the problems caused by physical strain of care work. The model promotes the workplace safety climate, which lightens care workers' strenuous work. So the model also helps employers to take care of the legal safety obligations.
The practical management model for physical risks includes among others: instructions to make the management model for physical risks; information about safe patient handling methods; examples how to improve information flow; needed forms and illustrative photos.
