Housekeeping: 03. Working Safely with Ergonomics

Housekeeping can be hard on your body. You're constantly moving, walking, standing, reaching, and bending. You're carrying heavy towels and sheets. You're pushing and pulling your trolley. You need to make sure that you're doing all of these functions safely. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration, or OSHA, has set guidelines for you to follow when it comes to performing your job. That's what this program is all about. We'll go over ergonomics and other basic definitions you'll need to know in the event that you're injured at work.
