SCHIPP | Peer Leader Training
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.
The SCHIPP for Peer Leaders has been developed to familiarize the front-line staff selected to be Leaders with the SCHIPP framework and goals. The Peer Leaders will be provided with strategies to support their co-workers with the implementation of the revised Safe Client Handling and Injury Prevention Program.
