Course Overview
This comprehensive 10-Hour Healthcare: Physical Therapy Safety training program provides physical therapy personnel with essential knowledge and practical skills required for maintaining safe rehabilitation environments and compliance with OSHA healthcare standards. The program covers fundamental safety principles specific to physical therapy operations along with specialized requirements for therapists, rehabilitation technicians, and support staff involved in patient assessment, treatment, and therapeutic exercise programs.
Participants will learn to apply OSHA regulations covering ergonomic injury prevention, bloodborne pathogen exposure control, slip and fall prevention, and healthcare workplace hazards. This program combines theoretical knowledge with practical applications addressing occupational hazards including (patient handling injuries, musculoskeletal disorders, exposure to blood and body fluids, environmental hazards), manual therapy techniques, therapeutic equipment safety, and infection control protocols while emphasizing therapist protection, patient safety, and regulatory compliance throughout physical therapy and rehabilitation operations.
