Hospice and home healthcare workers often perform physical tasks like lifting patients, moving equipment, or assisting clients with mobility. These activities significantly increase the risk of musculoskeletal injuries, especially in the lower back, neck, and shoulders.
Common injuries include:
- Herniated discs
- Strains and sprains
- Chronic back pain
Training in ergonomic lifting techniques, using mechanical aids (like patient lifts), and maintaining team lifting protocols can help reduce injury risk.
