EVS and OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH & SAFETY MANAGER
As the EVS or OH&S Manager you have tremendous responsibilities resting on your shoulders.
- Staff members look to you to ensure that their workplace environment is as safe as it possibly can be
- Administration needs you to do so in a cost effective manner
Healthcare facilities across the continent regularly report that musculoskelatal (MSI) and repetitive (RSI) stress injuries are at the top of their list of persistent challenges.
- Commonly one of the primary tasks, responsible for such injuries is the collection and handling of soiled linen
Commenting on how costly such injuries are, the Olympian newspaper noted that, "Ergonomic problems are the leading cause of injuries in Washington workplaces, resulting in annual medical treatment bills and wage replacement costs that total $411 million".
In Canada, the Canadian Auto Worker's Union made the following observation "Some workers become so disabled from pain that they are forced to leave their jobs forever.... if jobs are not changed to prevent injuries, workers who return to work are often re-injured".
MHI's NO-LIFT SOILED LINEN COLLECTION SYSTEM allows you to virtually eliminate the MSI's and RSI's related to laundry collection.
Since workers involved in the soiled linen collection process are often engaged in other tasks such as general housekeeping, the NO-LIFT SYSTEM allows you to reduce the cumulative effect of lifting heavy soiled linen bags and associated stresses inherent to now out-dated systems.
Additionally, but importantly, the NO-LIFT SYSTEM also dramatically reduces incidents of workers being injured by needles and sharps misplaced in linen and laundry.
Plus: MHI provides ongoing monitoring and training to insure that the immediate benefits you will enjoy are permanent.
