SPHP | Peer Leader Training – Regional (East)
Southern Health–Santé Sud is committed to providing a safe and healthy working environment for all health care workers (HCW) and patients / residents / clients. It is our responsibility to provide training to staff on safe client handling procedures and the equipment required to assist the client to reduce hazards and promote safe work for both the client and each health care worker.
