OHCOW
Sudbury is now launching a Pilot Project
Office Ergonomics Toolbox to further
educate former OHCOW clients only. The
expectation is that this will eventually
be available within the Sudbury Clinic
catchment area. The Office
Ergonomics Toolbox has been created to
assist workplace parties with the proper
selection and utilization of office
equipment. Please click here for
additional information.
Health care workers are
often required on a daily basis to move awkward and
heavy loads including laundry, supplies, equipment
and patients. Endorsing a "Minimal Lift" Program in
your workplace will help reduce chances of injury
and promote quality patient care.
The Minimal Lift Toolbox
has been created to assist workplace parties with
the proper selection and utilization of office
equipment.

conditions is possible

exercised. As summer
approaches, the risk for
developing conditions
such as heat stress
greatly increases.
