The government projects 3 million new workers will enter the health care field by 2016--creating more new jobs than any other sector in industry. However, current Bureau of Labor statistics suggest those newly minted workers may become some of the most injury-prone employees in the nation: nursing homes rank a conspicuous third place for incidents of workplace injury.
The gloomy injury rates can potentially be improved, however, through wider adoption of available lift technologies designed to protect health care workers from the sometimes hazardous nature of their own careers.
