Reasons for Using Good Body Reasons for Using Good Body MechanicsMechanics

1. Muscles work best when used properly2. Correct use of muscles makes lifting,

pulling and pushing easier3. Correct applications of body mechanics

prevents unnecessary fatigue and strain and saves energy

4. Correct application of body mechanics prevents injury to self and others

Page 5: Safety in the Workplace. Body Mechanics The way in which the body moves and maintains balance while making the most efficient use of all its parts

8 Basic Rules of Good Body 8 Basic Rules of Good Body Mechanics Mechanics

1.Maintain a Broad Base of support – Feet 8-10 inches apart– One foot slightly forward– Balance weight on both feet– Point toes in the direction of movement

2. Bend from the hips and knees to get close to an object and keep back straight

- Do not bend from the waist

Page 6: Safety in the Workplace. Body Mechanics The way in which the body moves and maintains balance while making the most efficient use of all its parts

3. Use the strongest muscles to do the job.

- located in the shoulders, upper arms, hips and thighs

4. Use the weight of your body to push or pull an object.

- push, pull or slide instead of lift

5. Carry heavy object close to your body.

6. Avoid twisting your body. Turn your body and feet to change direction

7. Avoid bending for a long period of time.

8. If a patient or object is too heavy, get help.

Preventing Accidents & InjuriesPreventing Accidents & Injuries

• Use MSDS – Material Safety Data Sheets– Must provide product information– Protection or precautions while handling

product– Instructions for the use of the product– Procedures for handling spills, clean-up and

disposal of product– Emergency 1st aid for injuries from product

Equipment and Solutions• Do not operate or use any equipment until

you have been instructed on its use

• Read and follow operating instructions

• Do not operate any equipment unless your instructor is in the room

• Report all damaged or malfunction equipment immediately

• Do not use frayed or damaged electrical cords

Page 13: Safety in the Workplace. Body Mechanics The way in which the body moves and maintains balance while making the most efficient use of all its parts

• Never use solution in bottles that are not labeled

• Read all labels 3 times to be sure you have the correct solution

• Do not mix any solutions together unless your instructor tell you

• Avoid contact with skin or eyes

• Report all broken equipment and clean up any spills

Patient /Resident SafetyPatient /Resident Safety

• Do not perform any procedure unless you have been instructed to

• Provide privacy for patients/residents – knock, call the persons name before going behind a drawn curtain, draw curtain for privacy before performing a procedure

• Always identity your patient. Ask their name, check wrist bands, check chart

Page 16: Safety in the Workplace. Body Mechanics The way in which the body moves and maintains balance while making the most efficient use of all its parts

• Always explain the procedure to the patients. Answer questions and get consent

• Observe patient safety

• Check all patient areas for safety hazards. Report any unsafe conditions.

• Before leaving patients – be sure patient is comfortable, bed is in the lowest position, bedrails are up, wheels of the bed are locked, and call bell within their reach.

Personal SafetyPersonal Safety• It is your responsibility to protect yourself

from injury• Use correct body mechanics• Wear required uniform and ID• Walk don’t run, walk on the right• Report all injuries and accidents to your

supervisor• If you see an unsafe situation, report it• Wash your hands frequently

Page 18: Safety in the Workplace. Body Mechanics The way in which the body moves and maintains balance while making the most efficient use of all its parts

• Dry your hands through before using electrical equipment

• When carrying/lifting a patient, review procedure with your partner. NO horseplay or practical jokes

Fire SafetyFire Safety

• For a fire to start it needs three things– Fuel – anything that will burn– Oxygen/air– Heat – sparks, fire, flames

Page 21: Safety in the Workplace. Body Mechanics The way in which the body moves and maintains balance while making the most efficient use of all its parts

Fire ExtinguishersFire Extinguishers

• Class A– water

• Class B– Carbon dioxide

• Class C– Dry chemical

• Class ABC– Graphite type chemical– Can be used on all fires

Fire Emergency PlanFire Emergency Plan• Move all patients and

personnel in immediate danger

• Activate alarm• Close all doors and

windows• Shut off electrical

equipment and oxygen• Do not use the

elevators

RACERACE• R

– Rescue anyone in immediate danger

• A– Activate alarm

• C– Confine the fire

• E– Extinguish the fire

P – pull pin

A – aim nozzle at base of fire

S – squeeze handle

S – sweep base of fire

Evacuation PlansEvacuation Plans• Move horizontally

first• All fire doors will

automatically close• Move vertically • Move ambulatory

patients first, then those that need help

• Do not use the floors directly above or below for evacuation
