CHAPTER 6: SAFETY AND BODY MECHANICS
LEARNING OBJECTIVES Describe accident prevention guidelines Discuss restraint alternatives List safety guidelines for oxygen use Describe guidelines for what must be done if a restraint is ordered Explain the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) Explain the principles of body mechanics Discuss appropriate use of restraints Apply principles of body mechanics to daily activities List physical and psychological problems associated with restraints Outline fire safety guidelines
ACCIDENT PREVENTION GUIDELINES Who is responsible for accident prevention? Accidents we will discuss: Falls Burns/Scalds Residentification Choking Poisoning Cuts/Abrasions General safety guidelines
FALLS Causes Prevention
