C. Use of mechanical lifting equipment
Ergonomically performing safe patient handling involves using mechanical lifting equipment rather than relying solely on manual lifting techniques. This helps reduce the risk of injury to both the healthcare provider and the patient. Mechanical lifting equipment, such as hoists or lifts, is designed to assist in moving and transferring patients safely, minimizing the physical strain on healthcare professionals and promoting better patient care.
