Would You Like to: Reduce Injuries and Save Money?
JGC Industry, Inc’s Skills Enhancement Program
 
… Is designed to reduce injuries to CNAs & Nurses by 75% - 85% during patient transfer. A minor back injury costs a facility $8,000 or more in unnecessary workers comp claims; our program is significantly less than just one injury.
 
NIOSH has stated that RNs push, pull, turn, and lift 1.8 tons during an eight (8) hour shift. CNAs do 4 to 5 times more than that.
 
Let us show you how you can do a manual, zero lift transfer on a 6’4”, 250 lb. man without lifting or twisting either the patient or staff member’s body, and easily stay within OSHA’s 35 lb. weight limits.
 
Over the past eight years JGC Industries, Inc. has worked with:

Safe Product Committees
Employee Safety Committees
Risk Management Insurance Companies
Risk Managers
 
To find solutions to help reduce injuries to their staff and patients during transfers.
 
Did you know? Therapists spend an ENTIRE SEMESTER in Therapy School learning body mechanics, transfer techniques and practicing those techniques on students and patients – a whole semester?
 
A CNA who had just completed her CNA certification shared with me that she had received just ONE HOUR of transfer training – VIA COMPUTER. That’s ONE HOUR to learn proper Body Mechanics and various transfer techniques – and not even hands-on! So, the people who are doing the most transfers are receiving the least amount of training.
 
OUR SKILLS ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM IS A YEAR LONG PROGRAM WHICH INCLUDES… On-Site Skills Enhancement: The best way to learn is to learn by doing, so all participants will receive one-on-one instruction, transferring the instructor 2 or 3 different ways.
