Occupational Hazards in Long Term Care
Nursing Home eTool

Today nursing homes and residential care facilities employ approximately 2.8 million workers at 21,000 work sites. Many nursing home tasks require considerable lifting and other strenuous physical labor. Historically the injury rate for workers in these facilities is double the injury rate for all full time workers in other occupations. This eTool* is designed to assist employers and employees in identifying and controlling the hazards associated with nursing homes and residential care facilities.
