employee education program

[Guest guest]

All,

I have been asked to develop a program for our small hospital. HR and our

safety committee have asked for our PT department to do a couple things: 1. Have

regularly scheduled educational programs for employees on a voluntary basis,

maybe every quarter. 2. Schedule the same programs on a regular basis for

certain departments (nursing, security, maintanence - all the positions that are

at a higher risk of injury through lifting, repetitive use, etc), maybe yearly

or twice a year. 3. Also perofrm these as needed with certain individuals who

seem to be repeat offenders as far as work injuries-as determined by HR/safety

committee Does anyone currently do this? The topics we are looking to cover

would include proper lifting techniques, posture, avoiding repetitive motions.

Any suggestions or tips on things that have either worked or not worked for you

in the past? If you would prefer to email me directly that is fine.
