Body Mechanics

BODY MECHANICS:Is the way in which the body moves and

maintains balance with the most efficient use

of all its parts

Goal is to decrease injuries to employees

Teaches proper techniques for lifting, bending and moving

Four Reasons to Use:

• Muscles work better when used correctly

• orrect muscle used means easier lifting, pulling and pushing

• !revents strain and fatigue and saves energy

• !revents injuries to self and others

Correct Body Mechanics

&' #end from the hips and knees

when lifting an object from the floor

(' Maintain a broad base of support feet ) *&+ inches apart

one foot slightly forward

balance weight on both feet,

pointing toes in direction of movement

'-se the strongest muscles to do the job

.' -se the weight of your body to push or

ERGONOMICS

• Applied +cience used to promote safety andwell being of people by adapting t"e environment

and using tec"ni(ues to prevent injuries.

!ncludes, -. Correct placement of furniture

and e(uipment

. /raining in re(uired muscle movements

0. 1fforts to avoid

repetitive motions

2. An awareness of t"e environment

to prevent injuries.

/"e prevention of accidents and injury centers

Around people and t"eir immediate

environment


6/25

Ergonomics uses anatomy, physiology and

psychology to design and make products

They target users and often design products

for people with limitations'

"rgonomics supports body mechanics in

that they are taken into consideration when

products are designed'

1very "ealt"care wor'er must be conscious

personal and patient safety and must e3ercise

care in "andling e(uipment and solutions

/"ey also must accept responsibility for usinggood judgment in any situations4 as'ing

(uestions w"en unsure and following policies

and procedures to create a safe environment

!t is a legal responsibility to protect t"e patient

from "arm or injury.
