Safe Client Handling and Injury Prevention (SCHIPP)

Musculoskeletal Injury is the number one cause of injury among health care workers according to the Workers Compensation Board (WCB) statistics. Causing thousands of days lost from work and WCB claims in the millions of dollars, the Musculoskeletal Injury Prevention (MSIP) programs are established in all worksites – containing tools and direction for recognizing early signs and symptoms of MSIs, outlining reporting procedures and establishing participatory processes to implement control measures and evaluate their effectiveness.

Early signs and symptoms of MSIs should be reported promptly so that changes might be made in the workplace.
