About the Webinar:
In October 2011, California passed the Hospital Patient and Health Care Worker Injury Protection Act (AB1136) to ensure safe patient handling and prevent musculoskeletal injuries among health care workers. Pursuant to this law, Cal/OSHA developed an enforceable workplace standard effective October 2014. This webinar will present research findings that evaluated the impact of the safe patient handling law and regulation by workers’ compensation data analysis, statewide nurse surveys, and focus group research.
