Yes. California has a safe patient handling standard per Cal OSHA Cal Labor Code section 6403.5 and at UCLA we have worked hard to comply with equipment assistive devices and training and lift teams and more. Warner Hudson, MD

Does your facility have a dedicated staff for patient lifting/transferring?

If not, how do you provide extra personnel when they are needed?

If yes, does the team cover the facility 24/7?

If yes, does the team have other duties to occupy their down time when they might not be call to transfer/lift a patient?


Thanks!
